Old S Range Of Ickleford Jmi School

The Old S range of Ickleford JMI School is a former Church of England school house and attached teaching block, built in 1848 for Frederick Dudley Ryder, who was the Lord of the Manor. The building features uncoursed flint facing with red brick dressings and a steeply pitched red tile roof that is banded in fishtail tiles. It is a tall Tudor Gothic structure that faces south onto a large grassed forecourt.

The building consists of a two-storey school house at the western end, which has a gabled front projection and a rear wall chimney with three tall octagonal brick shafts. To the east, there is a teaching block that is the same height and ends in a projecting east crosswing. At the junction with the crosswing, there is a large internal chimney with three tall octagonal shafts, along with a tall slender circular bell-turret and fleche over the main school range.

The main school range features three high-set windows with three lights and labels, a gabled porch, and a wide Tudor arched three-light window on the south gable of the crosswing. The windows are lattice casement style.
