Description
The building is a school and attached schoolhouse, constructed in 1840 and slightly later. It is made of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof with stone stacks. The schoolhouse is flanked by classrooms that form cross-wings, with a later classroom extension to the left in line with the main range. Designed in the Tudor Gothic style, the schoolhouse has a central two-light window flanked by Tudor-arched doors, and above are two gabled dormers with a central plaque commemorating its foundation. The gable walls of the cross-wings, which break slightly to the front and rear, feature large three-light windows under slit vents. The extension has a Tudor-arched door at the front. All openings have labels, and the windows are stone-mullioned with four-centre arched heads, containing small-pane sashes. The gables have parapets and kneelers. There are two symmetrically placed stacks with four octagonal shafts and moulded caps, although the right stack has been shortened. A further single shaft rises from the roof slope of the extension. The interior has not been inspected. The building is centrally located in the village.
