Description
Giles Shirley Hall is a former school built in 1858. It features yellow brick with red brick and stone dressings, topped with a corrugated iron roof. The building is one storey high and consists of nine bays, with the central three bays projecting by two bays. It has entablatures and quoin strips, and applied arcades with red brick round arches, stone imposts, and keys. The round-headed windows have red-brick imposts and are sashed with glazing bars. There is a segmental gable with a round window, and a porch in the seventh bay that has a segmental gable and a round-headed entrance with 20th-century doors and a window. The three-bay returns are similar, featuring five round-headed lights, with the central one being wider, leading to segmental gables. The building also has a rear extension and stack, and the roof includes drum ventilators. Giles Shirley Hall is part of a planned village for Price's Patent Candle Company, which is one of the earliest examples of a model industrial village.
