School And Schoolmaster'S House

The former school and schoolmaster's house, now serving as a parish hall and house, was built in 1877 by John Douglas for the 1st Duke of Westminster. The schoolmaster's house features an English garden wall band of orange brick with red sandstone dressings and timber framing on the upper storey. It has a red tile roof and two lateral brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high with a three-bay west front, showcasing a stone plinth and stringcourses. A central doorway is located behind an oriel window supported by wooden columns on low stone walls. The doorcase is 4-centred arched and has a label mould, with the door itself made of tall vertical panels fitted with iron strap hinges. Above the door, there is a three-light casement window, and to the left, a five-light stone mullioned window. Attached to the main structure are a pair of small outbuildings with hipped roofs. The right gable features a canted stone bay window beneath an upper storey that jetties out on wooden brackets. The date is inscribed on the tiebeam above the four-light casement window.

The school is constructed of ashlar red sandstone and is connected to the house by a one-storey passage. It has a one-storey, five-bay south front beneath a hipped roof, which includes a bellcote at the left end. The central three bays contain four-light mullioned and transomed windows with 4-centred arched lights above a continuous sill band, each topped with stone-coped and finialled gables. There is a door on the left with a 4-centred arched head and a four-light mullioned window at the right end. The roof features three small gabled ventilators, and there is an additional hipped porch at the right end with a similar doorcase. Inside, there is one large room open to the roof, featuring mansard-shaped trusses that can be divided by sliding half-glazed panels, along with a small classroom at the rear and cloakrooms at either end.
