At Lettaford a small school was being run for the miners' and farmers' children. Sisters by the surname Splatt provided the building and teaching and when they retired in 1860, they gave the building to the Bible Christians as a chapel. The school continued until 1872, when the pupils were relocated to North Bovey School.
