Description
Eastgate Church of England Infants School, the attached teacher's house, and the boundary wall were founded in 1850 by Miss Cookson and rebuilt between 1881 and 1882 by William Watkins of Lincoln. The buildings are constructed of brick with stone dressings and slate roofs, showcasing a picturesque Tudor Revival style.
The school features a chamfered plinth, buttresses, and coped gables with kneelers. The front has an off-centre recessed entrance bay with a buttressed gabled porch, which includes a 4-centred arched doorway with a hoodmould. Above the doorway is a scrolled datestone, and on either side are single ogee-headed lights. To the left is a projecting gabled wing with a 3-light stone mullioned casement and a similar 2-light casement above. To the right is the school hall, which has three 4-light ogee-headed casements. Each gable features a similar 2-light window, and the east gable also has a 3-light window with a stepped head. The north-east range has a similar window in each gable.
Inside, the hall boasts an arch-braced double purlin roof. The boundary wall outside is made of slotted brick with a chamfered plinth and gabled stone coping, featuring two off-centre gatepiers topped with crenellated octagonal caps and a rounded corner to the south-east. The wall is approximately 35 meters long.
