South Cottage, Village Hall And Church View Cottage And Garden Wall

South Cottage, Village Hall, and Church View Cottage, along with the garden wall, were originally schoolmasters' houses and a school, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and built in 1856 under the patronage of Reverend B. Beridge. The building is constructed from squared, coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a Westmoreland slate roof featuring stone-coped gables and moulded kneelers. It has two shaped ridge stacks and is arranged in an E-plan, with the school in the center flanked by two cottages.

The structure is a single storey with a nine-bay front, featuring a chamfered plinth. The central bay has an advanced gabled porch topped with a spired bellcote. The two end bays are advanced and gabled with upper floors, while the others are set back and include a partly external gable stack. The porch contains a pair of lancet windows and single doorways on each side, which have Caernarvon arched heads and trefoils with moulded hoods. Above one of the doors is a shield dated 1856.

On either side of the porch are two pairs of stepped trefoiled lancets with moulded octagonal shafts and chamfered over arches. Beyond these are two-light windows with Caernarvon arched heads, moulded octagonal center shafts, and chamfered rectangular surrounds. The upper floors in the end gables feature pairs of similar windows with trilobe heads and pointed over arches that have rosettes in the tympana. The recessed end bays have pent lead-roofed porches with timber bases, arches, and lattice work. On the first floor, there is a two-light window with a moulded mullion and flat head. In front of the cottages, there are low rubble garden walls with moulded ashlar copings, which terminate at each end in low coped piers.
