Description

The Old School House is a building that was originally a village school and schoolhouse, dating back to 1866, as indicated by a tablet on the structure. It is constructed of flint with gault brick dressings and features plain clay tiled roofs that have alternating bands of plain and fish-scale tiles. The windows are square with hood moulds and have wrought iron small-pane casements. There are two gabled entrance porches with boarded doors, along with gabled dormers, all adorned with ornamental bargeboards and finials. Additionally, there is a brick bell turret that houses a bell.
