Church Of England School

The building comprises a school and schoolhouse, constructed in 1864 by William Smith. It is built of red brick in a Flemish garden wall bond pattern, with ashlar dressings including quoins and chamfered window surrounds. The roof is tiled, with plain and fishscale tiles laid in horizontal bands. The front elevation features a two-storey master's house to the left and a single-storey schoolroom to the right, the schoolroom being of a similar overall height. The master’s house has a central doorway with a stone surround and shaped head. It has a two-light casement window to the left and a three-light casement window to the right. The first floor has two two-light semi-dormer casements with catslide roofs. Two chimney stacks are present, one to the left gable and one at the right. The schoolroom has a flush gable with a central three-light window; this window is framed in ashlar and features trefoil heads to the lights, with two trefoils above, giving the appearance of imitation plate tracery. The gable also has stone kneelers, coping, and a bell cote with a trefoil-headed opening which no longer contains a bell. Projecting from the right hand side is a gabled wing with stone quoins and kneelers, incorporating a three-light window with trefoil heads to the lights and a sexfoil light at the apex. To the left of this is a two-light and a three-light stone framed window, also with trefoil heads. A lean-to addition in the re-entrant angle features a three-light metal-framed window, ashlar quoins and window surround, and a plain tiled roof. The rear elevation presents three- and two-light windows with stone surrounds similar to those on the front. Outbuildings, a lavatory and a urinal are located to the rear of the schoolhouse. The original metal-framed lights or casements remain in the stone window surrounds. The interior includes two large schoolrooms set at 45 degrees to each other, accessible via large double doors with chamfered stiles and rails. One schoolroom has a blocked fireplace. The school and schoolhouse form a well-composed group and retain many original features, dating before the board school legislation of 1870.
