Description
The Former Peel School is a Tudor-style building constructed in 1850 by S. Smirke for Sir Robert Peel, Prime Minister. It is now part of a housing development. The school has a rectangular plan and is built of brick featuring blue brick diapering and ashlar dressings, topped with a tile roof that has cresting. The structure is one storey high and has a three-window range. Notable architectural features include ashlar-dressed offset buttresses and coped gables, as well as 4-light double-hollow-chamfered-mullioned windows. The central gablet displays an escutcheon on a panel.
On the right side, there is a 4-light transomed window beneath a dripstone and relieving arch, which has a quatrefoil above it. The left side has a similar window, along with two plaques that record the building's history, including the date 1850 in blue brick flanking the quatrefoil. The rear of the building has a small parallel range with two hipped dormers, and there is a 20th-century porch at the re-entrant angle. The interior features arch-braced roof trusses with tracery infill.
