Moor Top was a small farming and weaving community with an inn and adjacent blacksmiths forge when in 1813, Joseph Lancaster, a young Quaker, founded one of his many schools there for the education of children.

The Lancasterian School, known locally as the Mission Room, was left in the hands of a body of trustees for the people of Moor Top when compulsory education became law in 1870. The original building became dilapidated and was rebuilt in 1875 by public subscription and was further extended in 1902.

The school has been well preserved and is in regular use for religious purposes and community activites.
