Uppingham School Hall and Classrooms

Uppingham School Hall and Classrooms, built in 1923 by Ernest and W E Newton, is a notable structure featuring a hall and classrooms. The building is constructed of squared stone with slate roofs and coped gables, and has a stack at the east end of the classrooms. It is designed in an L-shape, with the hall running north-south and the classrooms east-west.

The hall is styled in a late 16th century manner, drawing design elements from Kirby Hall. The west front consists of seven bays divided by a giant order, featuring a plinth, entablature, curly paw-like brackets, and a parapet. To the left, there are canted full-length bay windows with nine lights and five transoms, balanced on the right by a rectangular projection with a four-light window that includes a king mullion and three transoms. The central five bays have similar windows, with 1970s mullioned windows in alternate bays below, which illuminate a newly created lower floor. The north and south ends are framed by octagonal turrets topped with leaded onion domes. The south end features three round-headed entrance arches that enclose double doors with traceried fanlights above, along with a four-light window that has a king mullion and transom above it.

The classrooms are three storeys high, with the south front displaying five gables and a rhythmic pattern of five-light windows with mullions and transoms, alternating with two-light windows. There is a string course between the storeys, a canted porch at the west end with a datestone, and a four-centred arched doorway at the east end, which has an inscription stating: "These stones taken from the original building mark the site of The Lodge 1854-1921." The north front is more austere, featuring smaller windows that light a corridor, with three-light windows with hood moulds on the ground floor and croisé windows on the first floor, along with five hipped dormers.
