Sited on Nottingham Road just behind the church, the building was originally used as a free school c1575. 100 years later when it was in a state of disrepair and in danger of falling, voluntary subscriptions were made to save it and add another floor. In the middle of the 18th century, a new school room was put up in the churchyard. Harrison House continued to operate as a school until the mid 1800s when it was replaced by buildings in Dragwell.
