Description
All Saints' Church Rooms is a former church school with a house for the schoolmistress, built in 1873. The building is constructed of granite rubble with red brick and limestone dressings, topped with a tarred slate roof featuring a zig-zag tile to the right and brick chimneys. It has a U-shaped plan, with the house for the schoolmistress projecting to the left and the schoolroom to the right, both of which have gabled roofs and lobbies in the inner angles.
The schoolroom, located on the right, is designed in the early English style and features a moulded sill string and arched windows set in moulded brick surrounds. Below each main window, there is a terracotta frieze adorned with scroll ornamentation. The central bay has a pair of arched lights with a cusped roundel above, a cusped hoodmould, and a gable. The projecting right bay contains triple lancets with a dripmould and a round window above. The left side of this wing has a lean-to lobby with a lancet window at the front, and a gable over a moulded arch with a hoodmould and double doors on the left side. All hoodmoulds feature carved stops. The right side of the wing includes four pairs of lancets and two buttresses. At the center of the ridge of the school wing is a square bell turret with a louvred wooden bellcote, a slender spirelet, and cusped gables over the side louvres.
The house to the left is simpler in style, consisting of two storeys with a limestone band course at the first-floor level. The projecting gable features sash windows with chamfered brick jambs, limestone sills, and lintels, with the upper window also having a brick relieving arch. The ground floor has canted corners with narrow sash windows, while the upper storey has quoins that are offset and supported by shaped stone brackets. The right side of this wing includes a lean-to lobby with an upper storey that jetties on shaped brick corbels, irregular single lights, and a door topped with a shaped stone arch over a fanlight.
