Description

Holy Trinity Church of England First School is a school built in 1871, with an extension added in 1879, designed by R. Norman Shaw. The building is constructed of snecked hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh blue-slate roof. It is a single-storey structure in the Gothic Revival style, shaped in an L-form with a gabled porch at the corner. The porch includes two pointed-arched doorways with a plinth, hoodmoulds, and angle buttresses with offsets, along with a 4 x 4-light mullioned-and-transomed window.

The original school section consists of seven bays, with a tall gable positioned over the second and third bays, featuring two tall multi-light windows supported by offset buttresses. Each bay has deep window embrasures that are alternately blind or fitted with mullioned windows. The gables are coped with kneelers, and there is a stack with an embattled cornice. The right-hand return displays two tall pointed-arched windows with two lights, separated by buttresses that have many offsets. The added wing has a weathered plinth and three bays of 3 x 3-light mullioned-and-transomed windows, topped with a coped buttressed gable on the right.

Inside, the space was opened around 1984 into one large L-shaped area, with an inserted false ceiling. A plaque on one wall reads: "THIS WING OF THE SCHOOLS WAS BUILT IN THE YEAR 1879 AS A MEMORIAL OF THE REVD. ALBERT HUDSON FIRST VICAR OF THIS PARISH."
