Description
The County Primary School, dated 1834, is a primary school with an attached schoolmaster's house located on London Road in Wrentham. The building features flint pebbles with yellow brick rusticated quoins and window surrounds, topped with a roof of glazed black pantiles. It is a single-storey school with a two-storey house to the left. The school has six windows, which are 2-light 20th-century casements. The asymmetrical doorway is set slightly forward and includes a boarded and battened door with a rectangular panel above. Above the entrance, there is a stone inscribed 'The Wrentham National Schools Established AD. MDCCCXXXIV', and a semi-circular arched bell gable surmounted by a dog, the crest of the Gooch family. The building also features three gabled dormers with decorative bargeboards, an internal stack of cruciform plan, and a gable end stack to the right. The house is designed in a matching style and is contemporary with the school.
