In 1753, Mrs Mary King bequeathed two houses with gardens, 8 acres of land and a right of cutting turf on the fen for the education of poor children of Martin. By 1856, the school property consisted of a house, a school room, a barn and a stable. 3 closes and an allotment were awarded at Enclosure. The school was rebuilt in 1842, and was used for divine service. It is not clear how many of the early buildings survive. {1}{2}{3}
