School. 1842, enlarged 1869. Coursed squared sandstone, slate roof. Original building rectangular, on north-south axis; addition at right-angles across south end (and later flat-roofed addition in angle), with further range continued to south. Romanesque style. Single storey; the east front of the original range has a round-headed doorway at the north end, framed by a pilaster and clasping corner pilaster (and the south end probably formerly had a matching entrance bay, but is now covered by the addition in the angle); and a central range of 3 round-headed windows with linked hoodmoulds. The north gable wall has a central pilaster and corner pilasters, 2 similar windows with run-out hoodmoulds, and the date "MDCCCILII" in raised Gothic script in the gable above. Rear rendered. The gable of the crosswing has large rectangular windows, and the range continued southwards from this has pilasters and 4 round-headed windows. Various additions to west and south, not of special interest. Included for group value.
