Description
The Old Primary School and School House is a building that served as a village school and school-house, constructed in 1860 with several later 19th century extensions. A limestone plaque within a gable notes the fundraising efforts by public subscription. The structure features a central single-storey schoolroom, with three gabled blocks to the right that contain additional schoolrooms, while the two-storeyed school-house is located to the left. The exterior is made of black knapped flint-work with red brick dressings, and it has plain tiled roofs with axial and external chimneys of red brick. The schoolroom windows are designed as double and triple lancets, with the upper sections set within half dormers or gables, featuring chamfered reveals and gauged brick heads. The school-house windows are 4-centred arched, equipped with Y-traceried wooden subframes and small-pane casements. There are one-storey gabled entrance porches with pointed doorways and boarded doors.
