Description
St Giles Church of England School is a school building, originally designed as schoolrooms and a house, completed in 1863 by architect William White for Mrs. Mary Gee of Colne House, Earls Colne. The building is constructed of red brick in English bond, featuring polychromy to highlight the window heads and stringcourses, along with some Caen stone dressings. It has a tiled roof and brick chimneystacks.
The schoolrooms are located to the right and consist of two bays separated by buttresses. The windows are 9-pane casements. The right side elevation includes a Caen stone pointed transomed window with three lights, while the left side features two trefoil windows and a central buttress with shouldered arch details. The rear elevation has two projecting gables.
The former schoolmaster's house is connected to the school by a combined porch and verandah. The building is asymmetrical, with two storeys and two windows. The right side has a projecting gable with a three-light cambered casement on the first floor, and a similar window along with a lancet divided by a buttress on the ground floor. There is also a three-light casement under the gable to the right, a similar window on the ground floor, a door, and a tiled verandah supported on a chamfered wooden pier. The interior retains folding window shutters.
