Denstone College Hall

Denstone College Hall is a school hall built between 1888 and 1891. It is constructed from coursed and squared rough-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a clay tile roof with coped verges and crested ridge tiles. The hall is designed in the Gothic style and forms the north wing of Denstone College.

The building has two storeys and is divided into five bays, each defined by full-height gabled buttresses. The ground floor of each bay contains two lancet windows separated by a small central buttress, except for the leftmost bay, which has two lancets divided by a segmental-headed doorway featuring a two-leaf board door and a hood mould that terminates in a wreath. The first-floor windows are gabled and consist of transomed triple lancets, each adorned with two cusped circles above. There are recessed panels behind the gables of each buttress, with corbelled moulded heads, and gargoyle rainwater heads attached to the drain-pipes.

On the northeast gable, there are two pairs of central ground floor lancets with a common relieving arch and a moulded string course that steps up over the windows. Above this, there is a central panel featuring four leaf motifs and the inscription "LIGNUM: CRUCIS: ARBOR: SCIENTIAE," along with a moulded string course above. Additional stepped string courses are present at the eaves level and above the gable window, which has five trefoil-headed lights with geometrical style tracery above, and a blind central light that serves as a niche for a statuette of a bishop.
