Description
This is a late 16th-century school house and school room, approximately 200 metres north-west of Williamscot House, which was later converted into a house. Built and endowed for 40 boys by Walter Calcott, the building is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with a steeply pitched slate roof, stone-coped gables, and a stone/brick end stack. It is two storeys high with a three-window range. Twin entrances, reached by stone steps, have 4-centred arched stone heads and chamfered jambs, each with a hood mould and label stops. The entrances have 2-plank doors with strap hinges. A 3-light stone mullioned window is located to the left of the door, also with a hood mould and label stop. The first floor has a 3-light stone mullioned window above the cottage and two 4-light stone mullioned windows above the school room, each with hood moulds and label stops. A bootscraper is situated to the right of the doors. Other details include a stone plinth and ironstone quoins. A Calcott coat of arms is positioned above the door. The interior was converted to a dwelling around 1970, and has not been inspected. The building has undergone 20th-century alterations and additions.
