St Mary'S School

St Mary's School is an early 19th-century building that was originally a Baptist chapel and later converted into a church school. It underwent alterations in 1874 and was transformed into a school between 1884 and 1886 by Hine & Son of Nottingham. After a fire, it was restored and converted in 1993. The structure is made of brick and stucco, featuring ashlar dressings and a slate roof with coped gables. It has a plinth, quoins, and a renewed wooden eaves cornice. The building is two storeys high and has a nine-window range. Most windows are renewed glazing bar sashes.

On the west side, there are two windows on the left that are covered by an adjoining building. The fourth bay features a round-arched double doorway with a cast-iron surround, a fanlight, and a pediment. To the left of this doorway is a window, followed by a late 19th-century door and overlight. To the right, there are four more windows, all with moulded surrounds. The east side has a doorway with a cast-iron surround, a blank fanlight, and a narrow pediment on the left, a small window to the left, and three renewed segment-headed cross casements to the right. Above these are three unequally spaced glazing bar sashes with segmental heads, and to the right, two round-headed margin glazed sashes. Higher up, there are four round-arched windows, with the outer ones featuring Gothick glazing bars.

The north gable, facing Duke's Place, has a round-arched basement door on the left and a two-storey porch with a similar door on the right. Above, there are five sashes, and above again, six sashes grouped in threes.

Inside, the building was refitted in 1993 and includes Adam style replica plasterwork and column cladding. The central space features a gallery at the east end with a cast-iron balustrade, supported by cast-iron Ionic columns. There is a segmental arch leading to the upper floor. On either side, there are panelled wooden galleries with screens that were unglazed at the time of the survey. The flat wooden ceiling has moulded beams.
