St Mary'S Shopping Centre East Building

St Mary's Shopping Centre east building, originally an infants' school, was constructed around 1857 and converted into a shop in 1990. It was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott and features a brick structure with an ashlar front and a left return facade, topped with a tile roof that has fishscale bands.

The exterior includes a gable facing the front to the right, and the building is single storey with a four-window range and coped gables. The entrance is located in a gabled porch at the right end, featuring a pointed arch that dies into stop-chamfered jambs, with similar return arches and an inner entrance. Above the entrance, there is a trefoil in the gable. The windows consist of three trefoil-headed single-chamfered lights, with the central window being tall and featuring a stepped triplet of lights, a pointed relieving arch, and a gable with a trefoil and iron cross, although it now has an inserted door. The left return has a window similar to the central one at the front, with a trefoil above it. A late 20th-century glazed canopy supported by enriched cast-iron piers has been added.

The building is part of a courtyard group with the former St Mary's Church of England School and the master's house. The closing wall that extended to the former master's house to the west has been demolished.
