St Peter'S Rooms

St. Peter's Rooms is a building originally constructed as a school in 1852 for Sir Thomas Parkyns. It features red brick with ashlar dressings and has a decorative machine tile roof. The structure includes a single decorative red brick ridge stack and a single red brick stack at the rear, as well as a central ashlar bellcote above the gabled bays. The building has a raised eaves band and is buttressed, sitting on a brick and chamfered ashlar plinth.

It is a single-storey building with ten bays. The outermost and the central two bays project and are gabled, with the central bays featuring an ashlar-coped, part crow-stepped gable. These central bays are diagonally buttressed and include a single central buttress, flanked by pointed chamfered ashlar arches with keystones that lead to inner pointed arched doorways with plank doors.

On either side of these doorways are single tripartite casements, followed by single ashlar-coped gabled bays, each containing a single tripartite cross casement. Further left and right are additional single tripartite casements, and in the outer single bays, there are single tripartite cross casements. Above the central two bays is a large cartouche, while the outer single bays feature single ashlar trefoils.

The left or west front has five bays and includes a single central ridge decorative iron bellcote with a lead roof. The central bay is gabled and has a single tripartite cross casement, with two tripartite casements on either side. Above the central window is a single ashlar trefoil. All windows are framed with flush ashlar quoin surrounds.
