Description
The Old Quad Buildings at Rugby School, constructed between 1809 and 1813 by Henry Hakewell in a Tudor style, may include elements from a 1748 school building designed by William Hiorn of Warwick. The buildings feature a hollow square plan with a low northeast angle tower above a wide arched entrance and a first-floor oriel bay window. The southeast tower has a tall archway, a central turret with canted angles, battlements, and a cupola similar to that of the 1748 building. The structure is two to three storeys high, with sash and casement windows. The south front has full-height projecting bays on both the left and right of the centre, with octagonal turrets at either end of the right-hand bay. The Old Quad Buildings, along with the New Quad Buildings, School House, and Doctor's Wall, form a group with the Chapel and War Memorial Chapel at Rugby School on Dunchurch Road.
