Description

Snaith Old Grammar School is a building that has origins dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. It has been altered in ways that are not sympathetic to its historical character, and it features a west extension. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble and ashlar, with some brick infilling and patching, and the east gable-end is rendered. The west extension is constructed from rendered brick, and the roof is covered with concrete tiles.

The building is rectangular in shape, consisting of a single room with an entrance at the east end and an extension to the west. On the south side, there are two 19th to 20th century 16-pane sash windows set in rendered reveals. There is a blocked central opening, which may have been a former door, framed by ashlar jambs and a lintel, along with a blocked panel above it that has a rough ashlar surround. The windows on this side have cut blocked former openings with ashlar lintels, and a single jamb is visible to the right.

On the north side, there is a pair of similar sash windows, with the left window cutting into a blocked opening beneath a segmental brick arch, while the right window cuts into a blocked square-headed opening. The east gable-end features a central 20th century door beneath an ashlar lintel, flanked by a blocked opening to the left in a chamfered ashlar surround and a blocked opening to the right with brick and ashlar infill. The west gable has a worn sandstone tablet with a largely illegible inscription that reads: "This School, supposed to have been built in -28 was restored at the expense of - Yarburgh -". The building is listed mainly for its historic interest.
