Description

The Former St Mary's Infants' School is a building located in Lichfield, constructed in 1840 with a small extension added in 1869. It was designed by Thomas Johnson of Lichfield and originally served as a Diocesan Training School and Commercial School. The structure is made of brick featuring buff brick diapering and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof and a brick end stack.

This single-storey building has a four-window range with a cross wing. Notable architectural features include an ashlar sill course and a coped gable with kneelers. The windows are double-chamfered and cross-mullioned, with small-paned glazing that consists mostly of elongated octagons and squares, along with plate glass opening lights. The wing includes a similar four-light transomed window, and there is a roundel above that features an enriched iron grille.

The left return of the building has a coped gable with a finial above two windows, while the rear displays simpler architectural details. Additionally, the left return has a lateral stack and a small gabled wing at the rear, with an archway leading to the area that includes a plank door. The school operated under St Mary's Schools from 1863 until 1981 and was used by Lichfield Cathedral School until 1989.
