Description

Master's Court is a grammar school that has been converted into offices. It is dated 1569, as indicated by an inscribed stone panel on the central cross-gable. The building features a rendered stone plinth and is constructed from uncoursed stone rubble with ashlar stone dressings. It has a 20th-century plain-tile roof and stone end stacks with brick diagonally-set flues. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and has a five-window range arranged as 1:3:1.

The central entrance has a ribbed and studded door within a Tudor-arched doorway that has a chamfered surround and a hood mould. The ground floor is adorned with two-light stone mullion windows that have hood moulds and metal casements, except for a 19th-century angled bay window on the left, which features stone mullion windows and a stone hipped roof. Above the door is a panel displaying the armorial crest of Lord Williams of Thame. The first floor has three-light stone mullion windows with hood moulds and metal casements on the left, centre, and right, while the left and right of centre have two-light stone mullion windows with hood moulds and metal casements. The entry is highlighted by a parapetted cross-gable that contains a four-light stone mullion window with a hood mould and metal casement.

There are mid-19th-century gabled full dormers on the left and right, each with two-light stone mullion windows. Inside, there are mid-16th-century stone fireplaces in most rooms, and a 20th-century staircase leads from the ground floor to the attic. The roof features queen post construction. The school was founded by Lord Williams of Thame in 1558. There are 20th-century additions to the rear that are not of special architectural interest.
