The Old School To Rear Of Number 140 The Lodge (Number 140 The Lodge Is Not Included)

The Old School, located to the rear of Number 140 The Lodge, is a former infant school that has been converted into offices. It was built in 1872 on land donated by the Marquis of Bristol. The building features walls made of random knapped flint and small stone blocks, with bands of black knapped flint across the south and west gables, and stone dressings. The roofs are plaintiled, accented with bands of black fishscale tiles, and the structure has a T-shaped plan.

The east-west range of the building has a gambrel roof with pierced and fluted bargeboards supported by heavy double brackets, while the north-south range is gabled, featuring similar bargeboards on the north gable and crested ridge tiles. There are two external chimney stacks made of flint and stone, each with rectangular stone shafts. The building has long 3-light mullioned windows on the north and west gables, which have heavily traceried heads, and a long 4-light window on the south gable with lighter timber mullions and a transom, which may be a replacement. Small cusped trefoil windows are located in the apex of both the north and south gables. The entrance is on the west side, accessed through a heavily timbered and partly open gabled porch. There is also a secondary doorway to the school yard on the south side, which has a stone surround and plank doors.

Inside, the building is divided into two large classrooms, both featuring open timber roofs. The larger north-south room has an arched braced collar form with side purlins, while the smaller east-west room has scissor bracing.
