Description
The New Big School at Rugby School, built in 1885 by William Butterfield, is designed in a Gothic style. It features red brick construction with stone bands and dressings, and a Welsh slated roof adorned with large end gables in a chequered pattern of brick and stone. The building is two storeys high, with a central projection that includes a ground floor porch. This porch has two doors set within a pointed arch, which is topped by a cinquefoil in the tympanum. Above the porch, on the first floor, there is a three-light traceried window situated under a stepped gable. Rectangular windows with stone mullions and transoms flank the porch, and are accompanied by octagonal turrets that have stone roofs. The end gable walls are decorated with two groups of lancet windows beneath cusped circles.
