Description
Holy Trinity School is a school built in 1874 in the Gothic Revival style. It features red brick with polychromatic blue brick bands and stone dressing, topped with a slate roof and ridge tiles. The building is single storey and has an original 'T' plan layout, with a central hall flanked by three classrooms on either side. There has been a minor alteration to the lavatory block on the south side.
The prominent windows at either end of the classroom range are tri-partite, featuring wooden mullion and transom windows with pierced ogees in the upper part. The spandrel has brick nogging with a pierced stone trefoil in the center, and the outer arch is made of brick and stone with a moulded hood and carved stops. The main hall elevation showcases a large stone plate tracery window with brick and stone banded outer arches and a moulded hood with carved stops.
The building has a low projecting entrance porch and corridor with three pairs of single-light pointed arch windows. The sides of the hall contain three large tripartite windows with stone mullion and transom windows that extend into the roofline, featuring pointed upper lights in a gabled dormer. A central bellcote with a pierced wooden frame includes trefoil-shaped openings with quatrefoils above, topped with a tiled roof and iron weathervane. The three outer doors are pointed and adorned with elaborate Gothic-style hinges. There are dormer windows in the roof, two of which are complete with barge-boards, while two have been altered.
Inside, the hall is partitioned and features a timber ribbed roof with a raised dais at one end. The original chamfered doors and window frames are present throughout. Holy Trinity School was built to promote the religious education of the parish and neighborhood and is a complete and intact example of a late Victorian National School.
