St Bedes College

St Bede's College is a Roman Catholic college, now functioning as a school, built in 1877 by Dunn and Hansom. The building is constructed of red brick with matching terracotta dressings, and its roof is concealed. It features an L-shaped plan, which is an incomplete T-plan, with the main range running parallel to the road and a rear wing. The design is in the Italian Renaissance style and consists of four storeys and an attic, with a total of 11 bays arranged in a pattern of 2:6:3, although it was probably intended to be 2:6:3:6:2. The two-bay south end projects forward, and at the north end, there is a single-storey porch that projects with three bays.

The exterior is adorned with moulded terracotta bands on all floors, a frieze decorated with scrolls, a prominent modillioned cornice, and a pierced parapet with short piers topped by segmental pediments. The windows are framed with enriched terracotta architraves; those on the ground floor feature pediments with unique busts, while the first and second floors have vertically linked windows with decorated panels in between and pediments above. The third floor has small square windows, and the two-bay south end includes an attic.

The single-storey porch has a three-bay arcade with round-headed arches. The outer arches contain segmental-pedimented windows flanked by piers with coloured relief majolica panels, while the central arch features a doorway with elaborate details, including twisted columns made of deep blue glazed tiling, a segmental pediment, and a frieze inscribed with "VENITE FILII AUDITE ME Ps.33". The frieze above the outer arches reads "BONITATEM ET DISCIPLINAM" "ET SCIENTAM DOCE ME Ps.118". The porch also has a balustraded parapet, a shield with bees, and various terracotta bees scattered on other parts of the wall.

Inside, the entrance hall showcases three-bay arcades supported by Corinthian columns at the front and pilasters at the rear, which are glazed and lead into a hall or former chapel. This hall features 12-bay aisle arcades with very narrow round-headed arches and a wide axial corridor.
