Description
Dunham School is a building that now serves as a parish hall and caretaker's house. It was originally constructed in 1759, with significant additions made around 1860 and in the 20th century, though these later changes are not of special interest. The structure is built of brick, partly rendered, and features slate roofs. The original one-storey school consists of two rooms deep and two rooms wide, with a central entrance. The entrance and the right-hand window opening have segmental heads with keystones, while the left window opening has been replaced in the 20th century. Above the entrance door is a small gable that displays an engraved panel stating, "This School was Erected in 1759 For the Benefit of the Township of Dunham Massey. According to the Will of Thomas Walton Gent."
