Chorister School

The Chorister School is a prebendal house that has been converted into a school. It dates back to the medieval period, with alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble, featuring an ashlar plinth and dressings, and is rendered in Parker's Roman cement. The roof is made of graduated Lakeland slate and is designed in the Gothic revival style, following an L-plan layout.

The main house consists of three storeys with five windows and projecting end towers. A central open porch features a Tudor arch and a roll-moulded parapet with a raised centre panel displaying the arms of Bishop Lord Crewe. The entrance includes a panelled double door and a Gothic overlight. The ground floor has Tudor-arched windows, while the upper floor features square-headed two-light windows with Gothic tracery and glazing bars, all set in raised, chamfered surrounds beneath dripmoulds. The towers have lancet windows with raised stone surrounds and slits at the top. The parapets are battlemented between the towers, and the hipped roof has chimneys at both ends. At the rear, there is an arcade of three large round arches supported by round columns, featuring rounded open triangular lights in the spandrels and a cusped light at the west end, which supports a terrace. A projecting right wing has two storeys and four bays, styled similarly to the main front, and includes a renewed stone bay under a brick gable, featuring a two-storey, one-bay gabled projection with buttresses, a blocked elliptical brick arch, and large crow-steps with chamfered coping.

Inside, the rear stone-vaulted basement has chamfered round arches. A 17th-century staircase features a closed string, richly-carved newels and brackets, and vase-and-twist balusters that support a panelled handrail with a high grip. The entrance hall is adorned with bolection-moulded plaster panelling, stucco cornices in the hall and some rooms, and numerous two-panelled doors. Additionally, part of the City wall is likely incorporated into the right side of the building.
