Old School House And Attached Outbuildings

The Old School House and attached outbuildings, located at No. 17 on Bucks Lane in Sutton Bonington, date from around 1719, with mid and late 19th-century additions. The building is constructed of red brick, with some sections of rubble, and features slate roofs. The original 18th-century structure has a left external gable and a single red brick stack at the rear right. It has brick-coped gables with kneelers and a rubble plinth, as well as a first-floor band. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays.

The central doorway has a plank door, and above it is a slate tablet inscribed with details about its founding by Henry Tate Esq of Burleigh Hall and Mr. William Tate of London, both of whom were born in the parish. The ground for the school was gifted by Charles Parkyns Esq, Lord of the Manor, in 1719. To the right of the entrance is a single glazing bar casement, and to the left is a smaller glazing bar casement. Above the doorway, there is a single glazing bar sash, with a single glazing bar casement to the left.

Attached to the left is a late 19th-century single-storey two-bay wing featuring two tripartite casements. To the right of the original building is a two-storey, two-bay mid-19th-century wing with an external gable red brick stack, brick-coped gable with kneelers, and sprocketed eaves. This wing includes a segmental arched doorway with a panelled door, a single 20th-century glazing bar casement to the right, and a small glazing bar casement above.
