Description
This is an early 19th-century former boys' school, now divided into three dwellings. The building is constructed of russet brick and has two storeys. The front elevation features three small-paned cast-iron casement windows; those on the first storey have semi-circular cast-iron heads, while those on the ground floor have flat heads with cast-iron lintels. All windows have cast-iron sills. The gabled ends each include a small semi-circular headed cast-iron window. A square-headed doorway was added later, and a modern brick porch is on the south side, along with a modern doorway. The roof is tiled. Before the construction of Holy Trinity Church, Anglican services were held within the school building.
