Description
Walsingham School was designed in 1907 as the London County Council Clapham Secondary School for Girls, under the supervision of architect T J Bailey. The building is four stories tall, constructed of red brick with stone dressings and a tiled roof, featuring a complex symmetrical design on the entrance elevation. This elevation has a six-bay center flanked by wings that are fronted with two-story blocks. These blocks rise into round towers topped with domes and open octagonal lanterns with needle finials.
A canted porch connects the center to each wing, framed by piers with clasping buttresses, and features an applied segmental doorcase on corbelled columns. A prominent cornice-band separates the second floor from a high attic, which has elaborately glazed sash windows and a crowning cornice over the four central bays. The main roof is topped with a complex square lantern. Canted bows with pyramidal roofs distinguish the entrance elevation from the recessed six-bay return elevations, which have round-headed ground floor windows set within radially rusticated heads. Corbelled chimney breasts positioned laterally on the entrance elevation rise into tall stacks.
