Description

Loughborough Grammar School is a grammar school built in 1852 by John Morris and Charles Hebson. The building is constructed of red brick with burnt headers, featuring a diaper pattern on the chequered basement, stone dressings, and a slate roof. It showcases Gothic revival architecture, characterized by "perpendicular" window tracery throughout. The central block has two cross wings, which were originally open to the roof but are now floored.

A prominent feature is the central three-stage battlemented tower, which includes an octagonal stair turret at the rear and is flanked by a four-light window on either side. The central doorway has carved spandrels, leading to a first-floor oriel window and a three-light window with a hoodmould, above which is a niche for a statue. The five-bay cross wings have coped gables that carry pinnacles and finials, along with canted bay windows. Additionally, there are octagonal lead-capped lanterns at the junctions of the main block and the cross wings.
