Lady Hawkins School

Lady Hawkins School is a building dating from around 1632, which was altered and extended in 1907 by architect John Abel. It is constructed of coursed dressed sandstone and features a plain tile roof with various early 20th-century stacks, some of which are grouped and set diagonally. The school has an E-shaped plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a three-window range, with one window in each advanced wing. The windows are early 20th-century and are set under hood moulds, while there are four roof dormers with casements beneath enriched plaster gables.

The building includes various entrances and porches with early 20th-century doors set in moulded four-centred arches, and there are additional early 20th-century lights under hood moulds. On the right side of the central wing, there is a blocked doorway with a chamfered span-arch lintel. A plaque on the building reads "Lady Hawkins Foundress 1632". The early 20th-century wing to the east is also part of the structure.

Inside, there is an early 20th-century open-well staircase with moulded balusters, as well as another early 20th-century staircase with stick balusters. A 17th-century mullion and transom window with metal casements is located under a hood mould, now beneath a 20th-century porch. The school was founded on a bequest by Margaret Vaughan, widow of Sir John Hawkins, who died in 1620. The windows were raised, the roof was rebuilt, and the east wing was added in 1907.
