School

Great Bowden School, built in 1839, is designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a two-storey pedimented end facade that faces the street. The facade includes three windows with stone labels, wooden mullions, transoms, and glazing bars. A plaque on the building is inscribed with "National School built by Public Subscriptions and Opened December 2nd 1839." Originally, the school had two rooms with a central house and additional rooms for the schoolmaster. The interior layout was likely altered in 1870 to convert the central area into a schoolroom. There is a front ground floor extension that has the original front door reset, and a penthouse roof above. The building also has eastern and western single-storey wings, with the eastern wing advanced and the western wing recessed.
