According to the leading authority in Devon schools, a National school was built at Lee Mill Bridge in 1874. The 1887 Ordnance Survey map shows it occupying a site some 45 metres east of the bridge. The school was relocated in 1896, with the 1906 map showing the original building to have become a mission room. A garage subsequently occupied the site.
