St Marys Hall

St. Mary's Hall is a preparatory school that was originally built as a seminary in 1830 and extended in 1880. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall with attics. The central section consists of 11 bays, with the middle three bays projecting, and represents the earliest part of the structure. This section has chamfered quoins, sill bands, and a hipped roof with a moulded cornice. The windows are sash style with glazing bars and plain stone surrounds. The entrance door features a plain stone surround with a semi-circular head, flanked by attached Tuscan columns, and has a plain frieze and moulded cornice. The 1880 extensions include seven bays on each side of the central block, designed to match the original building's details. At the rear, there is a chapel with a semi-circular apse, which has a barrel-vaulted ceiling, Diocletian windows, paired Corinthian pilasters flanking the apse, and mosaic decoration.
