Description
St Werburgh's School is a building dated 1848, designed by Fradgley of Uttoxeter, with slight alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a banded, pattern-tile roof, verge parapets, and diagonal-fronted ridge stacks. The school is designed in an H-plan and exhibits Tudor style.
It is a single-storey building with an attic and has a four-window front. The projecting flanking gables contain large four-light stone mullion and transom small-pane casement windows, which are centrally placed under blind reveals decorated with low-relief carvings of straps and shields. The left gable includes a later attic window in the apex.
In the central recess, there are gabled stone dormers on either side of three-light stone mullioned windows. A prominent square projecting bell tower is located at the center, rising to two storeys and topped with stone blocks. The bell tower features an octagonal bell cote with small Tudor-arch openings on each face, a slit window in the upper stage, and is adorned with a scrolled inscription plaque. The Tudor-arched entrance below now has a 20th-century glazed door.
