Description
All Saints First School is a church school with an attached school house, boundary wall, and railing, dating back to 1870. Later 19th-century additions and 20th-century alterations have been made. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs, featuring two ridge and two side wall stacks, shouldered and coped. It has an irregular cruciform plan, running east-west. Windows generally have sill bands, chamfered stone mullions and transoms, shouldered heads and original glazing.
The main hall range is single-storeyed, with a buttress on the south side flanked by three-light windows. Further windows are set within large through-eaves dormers, featuring quatrefoil windows. A gabled wing to the right has a three-light window above which is a cinquefoil. A gabled porch with a pointed arched doorway provides access, alongside a three-light window to the return. The south end has a central gable featuring a buttress to the left and a pointed arched recess containing a stepped five-light window and sexfoil round window. A wing to the right has a sidewall stack and flanking windows. A return gable exhibits another pointed arched recess with a three-light window and cinquefoil. A hipped porch, single-storeyed, with a three-light window flanked by doors (one door converted to a window in the 20th century) stands to its right, alongside a wing with a five-light window and sexfoil window above. Attached to the right is a 19th-century addition, parallel to the hall range, with two three-light windows.
The school house, located at the west end of the hall range, is two-storeys high and has an L-plan. It features detailing similar to the school, including a projecting gable with a canted stone bay window on the south front, and above it, a two-light plain sash with a central mullion. A pointed arch contains a glazed roundel above this. The west gable has matching fenestration. A wooden porch, panelled in the late 20th century with a hipped roof, sits in the return angle to the west. A square tower, three stages high, with a side wall stack and pyramidal roof of patterned slates is located in the return angle to the east. The tower has a two-light window on the south side, a loop above it, and pointed arched double openings on three sides of its bell stage. A blocked doorway is visible on the east side. The north side features a slightly projecting tower porch with a pyramidal roof, containing a door and sidelight, and a two-light window, all with flat heads.
The interior of the hall features an arch-braced roof supported on corbels, which was ceiled-in during the late 20th century. Gothic-style doorcases lead to adjoining, plain classrooms, accessed via 19th-century six-panel doors.
The site is enclosed by a stone boundary wall with chamfered coping and renewed railing on the south and east sides. The remainder has triangular coping, with three gates and round-headed gatepiers situated on the north side.
