Description

The School House at Thetford Grammar School was built in 1880 and is constructed of cut flint with red brick dressings, topped with machine tile roofs. This two-storey building features attics and has five uneven bays, with the outer bays projecting under gables. The left-hand (north) gable includes a bay window on the ground floor. The windows are fitted with ovolo-moulded cross casements, and there are three hipped dormers in the gabled roof. The building is adorned with triple polygonal stacks with star tops at various points. Inside, there is a closed-string staircase with bobbin-turned balusters, and the roof structure consists of A-frame trusses.
