Description
All Saints Church of England Middle School with Caretaker's House is a board school that opened in 1879, with additional ranges added in 1894 and the 20th century. It is built from rock-faced stone and features a banded grey and green fish-scale slate roof, designed in the Gothic style.
The main south range is a single storey with seven bays, while the two-storey Master's House is located to the left, consisting of two irregular bays. To the rear right, there is a two-storey eight-bay wing that was added later, along with other additions that are not of special interest.
The main range has a chamfered plinth and a roll-moulded stepped cill band, with most windows being transomed. The Master's House features a narrow bay on the left with a triangular-headed doorway that has a board door and fanlight beneath a hoodmould, and a one-light window above. The right bay projects as a wide canted bay with three-light windows at the front and one-light windows on the sides. The roof is hipped on the left and over the canted bay, adorned with red crested ridge tiles and a front finial, with a stack located at the rear and another on the ridge to the right.
The school has an irregular facade. Starting from the left, the outshut to bays one and two has a triple lancet window with colonnettes, and a roll-moulded pointed-arched doorway (now a window) with a stepped hoodmould and gable above bay two. Bay three is wider and breaks forward, featuring a pointed-arched window of five lights beneath a foiled, traceried oculus with coloured glass, flanked by narrow side lights and under a ball-stopped hoodmould. Above the gable, there are three stepped slit vents, kneelers, roll-moulded coping, and a fleur-de-lis finial. Bay four, which is set back, has a gabled design with a triple lancet window like bay one. Bays five and six each contain a three-light window. Bay seven, which projects, has a window similar to bay three, consisting of three lights under a sexfoil with coloured glass, with hoodmould and gable treatment matching bay three. The roof features red crested ridge tiles, the bases of two louvres, two ridge stacks, and above bay three, a spire with a louvred lower stage and an elaborate iron weather vane.
The right return has two low bays followed by the taller two-storeyed wing, which is in a plainer style with cross windows but has a similarly treated roof with a ridge louvre under a pyramidal cap.
