Renaissance House

Renaissance House is a former school that incorporates part of an earlier church. It was originally built in the mid-19th century and was purchased and enlarged in 1896 when it was converted into a school. The building is constructed of snecked rubble with Portland stone dressings and features a slate roof.

The ground floor retains elements of the earlier church, while the first floor consists of the 1896 additions. The front elevation has a projecting gable on the left with a cross-shaped saddlestone and triple lancet windows, flanked by two gabled porches with buttresses and arched doorcases, one of which is blocked. To the right, there is an octagonal turret with a plaque commemorating the 1896 works, alongside a large gabled porch with an arched doorcase.

On the first floor, the 1896 construction includes two windows on the left side and a four-light pointed arched mullioned and transomed window with a gabled dormer above. To the right, there is a large arched window featuring a five-light pointed arched mullioned and transomed window set within a large gable, accompanied by a wide chimney stack. A stone band runs under the parapet and continues between the window transom and the band between floors.

The right side elevation has four arched windows with intersecting heads on the ground floor, separated by buttresses. The first-floor windows match those on the front elevation. The left side elevation features four arched windows on the ground floor, with two buttresses and three flying buttresses. The first floor has a gable with a large arched five-light mullioned and transomed window. At the rear, there is a large sandstone west wing built in 1872, which is not considered of special interest.
