Community Centre

The building is a community centre known as The Old School, originally a chapel built in 1810 for John Hewett of Shireoaks Hall. It was converted into a school around 1864 and is designed in a classical style. The structure features plain and striated ashlar with slate roofs, along with ashlar dressings, a stepped plinth, a sill band, eaves, and pedimented gables adorned with mutules.

The building has a single side wall stack and consists of three successively lower and narrower single-storey ranges with seven bays, presenting a gable end to the street. On the west side, there are four unusual triple lancets with an elliptical profile on the left, two of which are blocked. To the right, there is a single-storey lean-to porch featuring three round-headed glazing bar sashes, which continues as an open timber arcade. Above this, a central triple lancet is flanked on the left by a circular window and on the right by a metal frame casement.

The south gable facing the street has two round-headed glazing bar sashes in moulded surrounds. To its right, there is a single-storey, single-bay addition made of ashlar with a slate roof, which includes a single round-headed glazing bar sash and an ashlar doorcase in the right gable. The east side has two small wings with coped gables and a single gable stack. The north gable features a single round-headed window with triple lancet glazing bars and a memorial tablet dedicated to 'Johanis Hewett 1811'.
