Description

The building is a former National School, now used as engineering works, constructed between 1847 and 1850 by Richard Sheppard of Newport Pagnell, and founded by the Rev. John Vaux Moore. It is built from coursed ironstone with ashlar dressings and features clay fishscale tile roofs, displaying a loosely Tudor style. The structure is one storey with attics and has a rectangular shape with a roughly central projecting gable.

On the left-hand side, there is a doorway and a three-light mullioned window on each floor to the right-hand side. The upper window extends through the eaves into a gabled dormer. A small gabled block projects from the left. The projecting gable features a large four-light mullion and transom window with a moulded label above which is a small louvred single light. The gable is topped with a small bellcote.

The right-hand bay has a small projecting gable at the center, which contains a two-light mullioned window under a moulded label. Flanking this gable are two three-light mullion and transom windows. All windows are fitted with ornamental cast iron casements in a hexagonal pattern. The gables are adorned with stone coping and kneelers, and there are ridge and gable end stacks on the left bay, topped with ornamental moulded pots.
