Description

The site comprises a medieval gateway, precinct walls, a tithe barn, and a lodge, all forming part of Repton School. The precinct walls enclose a significant area to the south west, south, and east of the school buildings. They are constructed of coursed squared sandstone, repaired with red tiles, and have triple chamfered copings. A 19th-century four-centred arched doorway with a moulded ashlar surround and plank door is situated at the south west angle. At the south east angle, in Brook End, a blocked pointed arch is low down, with a plaque recording that it was moved nine yards north in March 1905 and previously supplied water to the priory mill. A 20th-century gateway is located at the south east corner. Along the east side of the walls, remnants of a chamfered stringcourse and several buttresses are visible.

Attached to the north west termination of the walls are the tithe barn, lodge, and an archway leading into Repton School. The tithe barn may be medieval in origin and has a box-framed wall with brick infilling to the east, with the west side forming part of the precinct wall. It is covered by a plain tile roof, and internally features a five-bay tie beam and queen post roof.

A 13th-century archway is attached to the north west. It has a triple chamfered pointed arch with a hood mould. The responds are filleted with two orders of nook shafts and two chamfers on each side. The capitals are moulded. The arch is flanked to the south by massive buttresses with six set-offs.

The lodge, dating to 1896, is built in Tudor style. It is a single storey with a plain tile roof, coped gables, and a castellated parapet. A polygonal turret bay with transomed windows is located at the north west corner, and to the right is a broad segmental arch leading to an open porch. A pointed arched doorway is within, and to the left is a gabled bay with a three-light mullioned and transomed window with arched lights under a broad four-centred arch, featuring carved spandrels. A curved panel above the window displays the date 1896.
