In 1829 a British School was opened as The Melksham General School for the Education of Poor Children. Unusually it was was run jointly by Anglicans and non-conformists. Known as Lowbourne School from 1871 it was taken over by Wiltshire County Council in 1909 and a new school in red brick was built adjacent to the old school.
