Bishops School was built in 1844 in Nelson for the Church of England elementary school, which had begun in 1842. It was later briefly used as a public school, then from 1860 to 1895 it was again an Anglican church school for boys.

In 1881 a new wooden schoolhouse was built, with one brick wall from the original building. The building was later used as a library and meeting room, private primary school, and scout and guide room.

The New Zealand Historic Places Trust restored the school house in 1975. Articles of Victorian school days are displayed inside.
