Description
Former St Patrick's School is a building constructed in 1854 by J.A. Hansom for the Dominican Order of Holy Cross Priory. It features red brick with stone dressings and a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Gothic style. The structure is two storeys high and has a six-window range of stone mullion windows, which includes triple-lancets in the projecting gables on the center left and far right. On the ground floor, there are seven stone mullion and transom windows, along with a doorway in the right gable that has double doors and a hood-mould with end stops. A small window is located to the right of the doorway, with a niche above it. The building has a plinth and stone-coped gables with kneelers.
Inside, the ground floor features a large room with boxed beams supported on stone corbels. The first floor, originally used for worship, retains a very fine scissor-braced roof. This school was built as a combined school and chapel and served this purpose until a separate church was constructed in 1867.
