Originally set up as a school for the “Poor boys of Mountsorrel and Swithland” by Joseph Danvers in 1742 on the site (reusing the same building?) of a previous school run by James Freeman.
Closing down after the Christchurch and St.Peter’s Schools were opened in 1871, the building was later leased to the Mountsorrel Granite Company as a hospital for their employees in 1879.
The property is now spilt into 2 private dwellings.
