Old Grammar School

The Old Grammar School in Mansfield is a former grammar school that has been converted into a parish hall. It was founded in 1551, rebuilt between 1714 and 1719, restored and extended in 1851, with further extensions added in the late 19th century. The building features coursed rubble, coursed squared stone, and ashlar, with ashlar dressings and slate roofs.

The main block faces the churchyard and has a plinth, moulded eaves, and two coped rear corner stacks. It is two storeys high and has a six-window range of reglazed two-light casements with stone flush mullions. There is an off-centre porch with a steep pitched coped gable and a round-arched doorway that includes a keystone and imposts. Above the door is a panel with a Latin inscription. To the left of the porch are three reglazed two-light casements with stone flush mullions, and to the right are two similar windows. Between the floors, there are two small square casements with glazing bars. Each gable features a large segment-headed three-light transomed casement on both floors.

Adjoining the right gable is a hipped two-storey porch with a doorway that has a stone lintel. The right return of this porch has a three-light transomed casement on the first floor. To its right is a lower two-storey flat-roofed addition with a two-light casement on the ground floor. The right return of this addition has a two-light casement, and below it is a door.

At the rear, there is a two-storey wing that has a side wall stack and two wooden-framed cross casements on the first floor. The late 19th-century schoolroom addition to the right features a contrasting first-floor band and coped gables, one of which has a gabled single bellcote, while the other has a finial. The slate roof includes a central hipped blind dormer and two gabled ventilators. This addition is also two storeys high and has a three-window range of shouldered three-light lancets with stone mullions, along with three three-light stone mullioned cross casements below. Each gable has a segmental pointed four-light transomed window with a hoodmould, and above it, there is a pointed-arched louvred opening. Below, there is a four-light stone-mullioned cross casement.
