In 1583 Sir Michael Willoughby and his wife Catherine founded three schools, one for Latin, one for English and one for girls.
The date of 1706 carved over the front door
Latin House was built by Elizabeth Grey in 1706 as a school. in 1720 she provided an endowment for the Latin and girls’ school which were built to the east of Latin House.[2]
The master of the Latin school was employed at a salary of £150 per annum, the English master received £100 and the mistress of the girls’ school £50. The schools provided free education for children of Risley, Breaston, Sandiacre, Dale Abbey, Stanton-by-Dale, Wilsthorpe, Draycott, Little Wilden and Hopwell.[3]
Between 1850 and 1860 there were up to 14 boys being educated at the Latin School
In 1861 the schools in Risley were inspected by F.O. Martin Esq of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Charities[4] into charges of insobriety and neglect of duty on the part of the Under-master Mr Creswell, and also into the general administration of the charities. As a result of this enquiry, the school was remodelled in 1868 as a preparatory school of the first grade for boys intended for Eton, Winchester and the public schools[5] and the Lower School was separated off as a wholly distinct foundation, operating as a Middle Class School. The fees to attend the Latin School at this time were £50 and £70 per annum per pupil.
The building survived as a school until 1914 when it became a private house.
By 1966 the property was empty and was badly vandalised in that year. In 1970 a restoration project estimated at £10,000 (equivalent to £164,600 in 2021)[6] was begun.[7]
