Saint Martin'S School The Old School House

Saint Martin's School and The Old School House is a building complex dating from 1874, with the tower added in 1877. Designed by W. Brakspear for Sir William Cunliffe Brooks, it is built in a Free Gothic style using header bond brick, stone dressings, and slate roofs. The school is a T-shaped, single-storey structure with seven by four bays, featuring a corner clock tower and an adjoining two-storey schoolmaster's house.

The school has a projecting plinth, a sill band, a decorative applied timber eaves band, a steeply pitched roof, coped gables with kneelers, and triangular roof vents. Each bay contains a two-light stone-dressed mullion window with a heavy transom. The clock tower is a prominent feature on the street, complete with a commemorative stone plaque, stone quoins and bands, an open belfry, a pyramidal roof, and a weather vane.

The three-bay schoolmaster's house is connected to the school by an elaborate arched entrance with a foundation stone above. It shares similar architectural details with the school, but features cusped window heads, a picturesque porch, a dormer window, polychromatic relieving arches, and crested ridge tiles.
