The building was erected and donated by Robert Smyth (a local man who made good in London) as a school-house for the boys of the town. The upstairs is still very much in use today.

There are also regular craft and food markets in the town square. The area under the school is often used for stalls selling curios and antiques. Other occasions it is used for artisan craft markets.
