Description

The Old School is a red brick school building dating from 1843, with alterations made around 1890. It has ashlar dressings and a slate roof with ashlar coped gables, moulded kneelers, and a chamfered ashlar plinth. Ashlar quoins mark the corners.

The east front is single-storied and features three bays, with a slightly projecting gabled central bay. This central bay contains a single, three-light cross mullion window set in a chamfered ashlar surround with a drip mould above. Above the window is an ashlar coat-of-arms, and the gable is topped by an ashlar gabled bellcote with a pointed, chamfered arched bell opening. Either side of the central bay are single, similar three-light cross mullion windows. A rebuilt, gabled porch is set back to the north. The south front has its windows and door bricked up.

Local climate

The Old School sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 79% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
