Description

St Mary's Church of England Primary School, built in 1862 by H. Blandford, features an entrance front facing the playground made of red brick with yellow brick bands and polychrome arch heads. The roof is covered with plain tiles, and the building has a continuous plinth, decorative bands, and a modillion eaves cornice. There are three gables on the playground side, showcasing irregularly placed plate glass windows with polychrome arches, including a set of four tall lancets in the center gable. The building has stacks located at the center, to the right, and a corbelled projecting stack at the left gable. The entrance is situated in the re-entrant angle of the right gable and the end gable of the south front, featuring an arched plank door within a polychrome opening. Attached to the building is a portion of the playground wall, made of red and yellow buttressed and banded brick, which extends 7 yards north to an opening in the wall. The south front also displays red and yellow banded brick, a plinth, an eaves cornice, and a tile roof with four gables, including a central projecting gable and six large two-light windows, with the central window featuring ashlared plate tracery.
