Description
No. 70 St Marychurch Street is a house that was later used as a school and is now an office. It was built around 1700 and features red brick with stone dressings, topped by a parapet with stone coping. The building has three storeys and three bays. The front has stone quoins and a plinth, and to the right is a six-panel door with a decorative fanlight, set within a timber doorcase that has panelled reveals and sunk panelled pilaster jambs supporting an entablature with a cornice. The projecting door-hood has been removed.
The centre window on the first floor has a stone plaque beneath it, flanked by scroll corbels that support figures of a boy and girl dressed in 17th-century clothing. The ground-floor windows feature brick aprons and have flat, gauged-brick arches, while the first-floor windows also have flat arches, and the second-floor windows have cambered, gauged-brick arches with keystones. All windows are sash windows with glazing bars in flush frames. There is a blank brown brick return to the right, and the rear elevation has been rebuilt.
Inside, the building retains its original panelling and staircase, which features barleysugar balusters and carved brackets. The plaque on the building indicates that the free school, founded in 1613 and instituted in 1742, moved to this location in 1797.
