A free school was founded, in 1717, by James Baines, who endowed it with land now producing an income of £69 per annum : a master and an usher are elected annually, and the number of children instructed varies from eighty to one hundred and twenty. The founder likewise bequeathed land, of the present value of £100 a year, for apprenticing poor children of this parish.^[1]
