Taubman School

Founded under the 1799 will of John Taubman - "for the support of a Free School in Castletown, for the education of twenty five poor boys;-that is to say, the sum of twenty pounds British, part thereof, to be paid as a Salary to a Master for teaching and instructing the boys in reading, spelling, writing, and arithmetic; and the remaining sum of five pounds to be laid out annually in purchasing books, ink, and paper, for the use of the said School. And it is Our will that the said John Taubman, our son, and his heirs, shall at all times have the nomination of the Master of the said School, and of the boys who may be admitted: and in case the said John Taubman or his heirs shall neglect to fill up any vacancy that may happen in the said School, within the space of one month after such vacancy shall be made known unto the said John Taubman or his heirs, that then and in such case of neglect, it is our will that the Chaplain and Wardens of Castletown Chapel do appoint to and fill up the said vacancy".

The school house was later used as a home for the district nurses (it still bears the name Nurses' Home in Manx) and is now a private dwelling.
