Description
Ripple Vale House is a school built in the early 19th century for the French family. The building is rendered and features a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall, with the end window bays projecting slightly. The hipped roof has a paired modillion eaves cornice and doubled stacks at the rear left and right. The façade includes five glazing bar sashes with louvred shutters on the first and second floors, and four French windows on the ground floor. There is a central panelled door with a rectangular fanlight, all set beneath a large triple keyed pediment supported by consoles. Notably, Field Marshal Sir John French, Earl of Ypres, who was born here in 1852, is buried in the churchyard of St. Mary the Virgin in Ripple.
