Description
Mount School is a school building located in Newark on Trent, constructed in 1826 by W M Fowler, with a cross wing added in 1838 and a bell tower dated 1877. The building features stucco and painted brick with stone dressings, gabled and hipped slate roofs, and two side wall stacks. It has a plinth and rebated eaves.
The single-storey schoolroom has six bays and a pedimented gable facing the street, which includes two 15-pane sash windows. On the left side, there are five 15-pane sashes arranged in a 3:2 pattern. The right side features a single-storey hipped porch with two small windows on each side and a four-panel door to its left. To the right of the porch, there are four 15-pane sashes and another door.
At the far end, the two-storey cross wing has four segment-headed 12-pane sashes on each floor, with two blank spaces on the first floor at each end, the left side featuring iron grilles. The left end also has a blocked door. In the rear return angle, there is a square bell tower made of brick with stone dressings and a pyramidal slate roof, which consists of three stages. The second stage has a round-headed window with a keystone and a date stone, while the second stage features segment-headed paired bell openings on each side.
