Description
Lewknor Church of England School is a former school and schoolhouse dated 1836. It is constructed of flint rubble with brick dressings and features a hipped old tile roof with brick end stacks. The building has an H-plan layout with a symmetrical two-storey structure that includes three windows across the front. There is a segmental brick arch over a 20th-century door, which is topped with a tiled pentice, flanked by canted bay windows. The first-floor windows are horned sashes.
On either side of the main building are one-storey schoolrooms made of flint rubble with brick dressings and outer walls of chalk rubble, both topped with gabled thatch roofs. Each gable wall has a brick segmental arch over a 20th-century casement window, and the inner side walls have similar arches over plank doors. There is also a 19th-century three-light casement window in the right side wall. To the right, there is a one-storey, one-bay extension built of English garden wall bond with a gabled old tile roof. The interior has not been inspected.
