Description

The Old Village School House, built in 1683, is now a youth club and was previously listed as the Village School. It was commissioned by Sir George Cooke, who left funds for its construction. The building is made of rubble magnesian limestone and has a Welsh slate roof. It is a single-storey structure with five bays and a wing at the rear right. The building features large quoins and a blocked central doorway that has a bolection-moulded surround, a pulvinated frieze, and a broken segmental pediment that once included a cartouche in the tympanum. The other bays contain tall two-light mullioned windows with 20th-century casements and trefoil-head lights beneath square heads, all framed by recessed, chamfered surrounds. A continuous cyma-moulded dripmould runs along the top, and the building has shaped kneelers and triangular gable copings. Tall rendered stacks with cornices are located at each end. The rear of the building has one window similar to the front, but otherwise has been altered; the wing on the left features a five-light window on its return and a tall external stack at the angle with the main range.
