Description
The former Church of St. James and attached school buildings were constructed in 1832 by Ignatius Bonomi, with the schoolhouse built slightly later. The buildings are made of ashlar stone and feature a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Romanesque style. The church consists of a single room with four bays, characterized by round-headed sash windows that have roll-moulded arches and shafts adorned with waterleaf capitals. There is a chamfered sill string and a continuous drip mould, with the bays separated by flat pilasters and a corbel table. The roof is gabled, and there is a west bellcote with a round arch.
The west doorway is multi-moulded and round-headed, set in a shallow projection beneath a stone pent roof. The east end of the church has two similar windows and a round window in the gable.
At the rear, the lower L-plan school building features a Tudor-arched doorway, double-chamfered mullioned windows, and decorative curly bargeboards.
