Wilmcote Church Of England Junior And Infant School

Wilmcote Church of England Junior and Infant School is a school building dating from 1845, with later additions. It was designed by William Butterfield for Edward Knottesford Fortescue. The structure is made of lias rubble, featuring regularly coursed lias front wings and limestone ashlar dressings. The roofs are covered with old tiles and late 20th-century tiles, and have coped gables. The building is in the Gothic Revival style and is a single storey.

On the rear elevation facing the churchyard, there is a three-window range. An arched plank door on the right side has a block surround. The windows include single and three-light limestone mullioned designs with segmental-headed lights. Above and to the left of the door is a large dormer with glazing bars. There is a large external stack on the left, though its shaft has been removed.

In the re-entrant angle between the school and The Old Vicarage, there is a small gabled range with a small window and a coped gable. The left return side features a two-light window in the Decorated style, with trefoiled ogee lights and a quatrefoil, supported by lias voussoirs and a buttress below. Beyond this wing is a large external stack and flanking two-light wood mullioned windows with segmental-headed lights. The front elevation is largely obscured by mid to late 20th-century additions and has gables. The school is part of an interesting group of buildings that includes the Church of St. Andrew and The Old Vicarage.
