Lakenham First School

Lakenham First School, originally known as the Infants' School, was built in 1863 and is located on Hospital Lane. The building is constructed of yellow brick and features a hipped slate roof. It stands two stories tall and has a symmetrical façade with eleven first-floor windows. The central bay slightly projects and includes a double-leaf panelled door topped by a fanlight with glazing bars, all set within a recessed round-headed moulded and gauged brick arch.

The ground-floor windows are round-headed with glazing bars, although one is missing, and they are positioned under gauged brick arches linked by a moulded string course. The building has projecting hipped gable-fronted end wings. The first-floor windows are sashes with glazing bars, placed under flat gauged brick arches, and there is a plain sill band. The eaves overhang and are supported by paired brackets, while cast iron lion masks adorn the gutters. To the right, there is a three-bay wing in a similar style that is set back. Tablets flanking the main door provide information about the history of the foundation.
