Description

The Old Grammar School, dating from 1637, is constructed of coursed rubble stone and features a stone slate roof. It is a single-storey building with what appears to be one room. The gables have kneelers and chamfered tabling. The central doorway has chamfered stone jambs and a lintel that shows the last phase of a Tudor arch. On either side of the doorway, there is a four-light stone mullion window. At the back of the building, there are two similar two-light windows, and in the eastern gable, there is a five-light stone mullion window.
