From Mary Woolhouse to Muskham Primary School

Mary Woolhouse lived in North Muskham and died in 1727.  In her will, she left her land to pay for the education of children in North Muskham. In 1745, her daughter, Mary Disney, converted the will into a trust, to be administered by Trustees.  From that time, various premises built on the land left by Mary Woolhouse were used as school rooms until 1880 when a Board School was built there.  This building served as the village school until our present school building was opened in the summer of 1965. 

The old building, renamed "Woolhouse Hall" in memory of the foundress of the Charity, was sold and the money invested.  The income from this investment is used, by the Trustees, to support the education of children and young people from the parishof North Muskham.
