Description
The building is a training centre, dating from 1864, and originally comprised a school and school house. It is constructed of patterned courses of clunch with gault brick dressings. The roof is slate, with patterned ridge tiles, and features a central ridge stack and a further stack to the right. The northern section was designed as a house, with two storeys and a closed gabled entrance porch to the left, featuring a two-centred, chamfered arch. It has three first-floor casement windows with flat arches and chamfered brick jambs, and two large ground-floor three-light casement windows with similar arches. The southern section housed the school, a single-storey building with a bell turret in the gable parapet. A central closed porch is flanked by two transomed and mullioned stone windows with square-headed drip moulds. The building is included on the list for its group value. Gathercole’s 1972 publication, Burwell and Its Church, provides further historical context.
