Description
Hook with Warsash Infants' School is a school building constructed in 1871 by R Brandon for A Hornby, who was associated with the Hook Estate. The school features rock-faced rubblestone with ashlar dressings and has a plain tile roof with crested ridge tiles. It has a T-shaped plan and is a single storey with four bays. The main range at the rear has a roof that slopes down as a catslide over open porches flanking the wing, with the right-hand porch altered in the late 20th century. The central wing has a hipped roof, with lower hipped-roofed bays on either side at the angles of the main range.
Architectural details include quoins at the angles and around the openings, offset buttresses, and a roll-moulded sill string with a hollow moulded eaves band. The west front features windows with two shouldered-headed lights and a central timber-framed clock tower adorned with decorative boarded-in tracery and a corbelled gable. There are also two metal roof vents. Each return has a stepped triple lancet window and a pointed-arched doorway at the rear, with the sill string rising over it as a hoodmould. The right return has a corbelled gable that protects a bell.
At the rear, the wing has a window with three shouldered-headed lights and a later door, while the side bays each feature a two-light window under a hoodmould. The left bay has a segmental-arched doorway leading into the porch, roof vents, and an ashlar ridgestack on the wing. This school is part of a group that includes the church and schoolhouse, which Hornby built to serve the two villages of Hook and Warsash.
