"In 1707 a member of the Hacker family left a parcel of land to the future owners of the Hall; the vicar and the church wardens. Rent from this land paid the wages of a school teacher. Lessons took place in the church until £300 was raised for the school building which opened in 1779. The side of the building bears a stone carved with the Hacker Coat of Arms. ?
The Robert Hacker Charity School was replaced by a newer school in 1874. The old building became the Reading Room, then it had various uses until the present day when it is the Flintham Museum."
