Description

The building is a Roman Catholic primary school, constructed between 1841 and 1846 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. It is built of red brick with stone dressings and has a tiled roof with a crested ridge and verge parapets. A castellated triple-shafted stack rises from the right-hand apex of the roof.

The two-storey, six-bay front is divided by stone-capped, two-stage buttresses. The upper floor has three-light stone-dressed windows with trefoil heads, while the ground floor has four-light windows, also with trefoil heads. A bell tower with a pyramidal, two-stage lead roof, timber framing to the bellcote, and a trefoil-headed window to the first floor is positioned slightly away from the right-hand end of the front. A low catslide roof extends over the projecting entrance bay, situated between the school and the tower. A pent roof runs flush to the front of the tower. The north front is asymmetrical and contrasts with the main body of the building; it features a Tudor-arch first-floor window above a pointed-arch entrance with doors set back into the reveal.
