Former National School

This is a former National School, built in 1845 to provide education for local girls. In the mid-20th century, it was repurposed as a church hall for the adjacent Church of St Michael and All Angels. The building is constructed of red brick with stone quoins and a plinth. It has a T-plan form, with an infilled range to the rear, and two single-story eastern projections.

The building is single-story, with gabled walls to the cross-wings. The eastern elevation features two single-story gabled projections; one serves as the entrance and porch, and the other as the former headmaster’s office. Each has a centrally placed mullion window, and the larger gable has a false slit window above. A mid-20th century extension with a flat roof, housing a toilet block, is attached to the porch and partially obscures one of the main eastern windows.

The western elevation has four bays, with a large gable wall forming part of the T-plan, and three smaller gables filling the recessed section. A blocked entrance is centrally located in the smaller gables, flanked by mullion windows on either side, each with a false slit window above. The larger gable also features a mullion window and a slit window above, as well as an off-centre door; evidence remains in the brickwork indicating the original doorway’s position.

The northern elevation has three bays, one with a slightly protruding gable. Each bay has a single mullioned window, and the central gable features a datestone inscribed “National School 1845”. The southern elevation is a single gable bay with a centrally located mullion window and a false, stone slit window above.

The interior is divided into two rooms, one now used as a kitchen. A lowered ceiling with coving has been installed, but the original timber roof structure is believed to survive above. A shared chimney stack is situated between the rooms, with removed fireplaces bricked up and partially concealed by panelling. The main entrance leads into the larger room, which has two supports believed to be cast iron. Access to the former headmaster's office is available from the kitchen. A modern opening provides access to the rear of the building, with evidence of the original doorway visible in the brickwork.

To the rear of the building is an enclosed yard, surrounded by a brick wall topped with stone coping stones. The wall includes regularly spaced brick piers and a wooden gate in the northern section.
