English: Old Schoolhouse, Haskayne Situated at the junction of Black-A-Moor lane with School Lane, this old schoolhouse dated 1802, served the farming communities of Downholland and Haskayne. Founded long before the Education Act of 1870, in the early days the children had to pay a small amount to their teacher towards her stipend and for the slates and chalks that was provided for them. The earliest recorded teachers are Catherine Mawdsley and her daughter Eliza Yates, who followed her mother into the post of headmistress in the 1850s. The old schoolhouse was replaced by a larger building in 1890 which itself has now been replaced by a modern building partly funded by the Scarisbrick family, lords of the manor. The two older buildings are now both private residences.
