Description
The building is a former Church of England Primary School, constructed in 1866 by P.C. Hardwick in the Gothic style, and includes two associated school houses. Built of stone rubble, the main school building has a steep pitched tiled roof with gable-ended cross wings at each end. A prominent feature is a tall square tower with a short spire, set within the angle between the wings. Stone coping defines the gables. Large, painted arched windows with plate tracery, featuring three lancets with trefoil piercings, are set within the gable ends. The school is single-storied. Pointed arch entrances are located at the base of the tower and within a gabled porch on the left return. The school houses are two-storied stone rubble structures with slate roofs, incorporating gables with shaped barge boards. The ground floor features a splayed bay with a parapet and a porch with pointed arches and a parapet, while the first floor has two trefoil-headed lights within a stone mullion window.
