Description
Queen Elizabeth Grammar School is a building likely dating from around its foundation in 1560, with alterations and restorations made in 1851, along with some modern additions. It is a single-storey structure built of red brick with a tiled roof, featuring an original gabled porch on the south side. The main building has a plinth and a simple brick entablature below the eaves, which continues around the porch, and brick pilasters at the corners. The side elevation includes two windows on the front 16th-century gable and one on the 19th-century rear gable. Although the building has been extensively rebuilt, it retains a significant amount of 16th-century brickwork. An inscription above the porch commemorates its foundation by Elizabeth I.
