Description
The Former National School, now used as a theatre wardrobe, was built in 1836. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a Welsh slate roof with pedimental gable ends. There is a truncated brick stack at the northwest gable end and a later lateral stack at the rear northeast. The building has a rectangular plan, with schoolrooms located on the ground and first floors.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay southwest front. This front includes large cambered arch windows with multi-pane cast-iron frames, featuring pivot opening lights in the center. The ground floor windows have been replaced with wooden mullion-transom frames, likely in the late 19th century. There is a doorway on the right with an overlight and a panelled door, while a 20th-century brick porch with a flat roof is located on the left.
On the southeast end, there is a similar cast-iron window and a large sandstone plaque in the gable above, inscribed: "NATIONAL SCHOOL. Erected by Voluntary Contributions, AD 1836, S. Butler DD vicar, T. Tidmarsh, R. Draper churchwardens." The northwest end and the rear northeast feature sash windows with glazing bars, along with another multi-pane cast-iron window on the first floor at the rear northeast. The interior has not been inspected.
