In the early 1720s, Gastrell noted two schools in the parish. One was built about 1629, in a croft worth 30s. per annum. Not free. Master nominated by Massey Barnston and - Leech, esqs. There was another school at Clutton, to which Richard Holland left £100 interest to the master, who had a small house and garden. The money was then in the hands of Mr Leech, and he and Mr Massey named the Master. Gastrell, Notitia Cestrienses, I,132.
