King Alfred'S School

King Alfred's School is a school building constructed between 1849 and 1850 by J.B. Clacy, with further work completed by William Butterfield in 1872 and 1873, along with later additions. The building is made of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof and a stone stack. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and has a complex plan.

The central block is two stories high and has a five-window range. It includes a two-story central gabled porch with offset angle buttresses and a two-light Geometrical style window above double-chamfered doorways that lead to plank doors. The ground floor features two-light mullioned windows, while pointed lancets are present in the gabled half-dormers above. The gable walls have moulded kneelers and stepped coping stones. The roof is gabled, with a lateral stack at the rear.

To the left of the front, there is a similar one-storey, one-bay range with a pentice attached to the chapel, featuring two-light late 13th-century style windows in the side walls. The west wall has a gabled bellcote over a three-light late 13th-century style window. To the right of the front, an asymmetrical schoolmaster's house is attached, designed in a similar style with a stone ridge stack and two-light transomed windows that have square and pointed heads. There is also a later 19th-century extension to the right, made of darker limestone and topped with an old tile roof.

At the rear, there is a one-storey and attic section built by William Butterfield in 1872-3, constructed of English bond brick with a gabled old tile roof, a brick ridge stack, and an offset lateral stack. This section includes two-light windows flanked by three-light chamfered stone-mullioned sash windows with chamfered brick jambs, as well as two-light casements with overlights to hipped dormers.

Inside the front block, there is a much-restored Norman doorway from the "Latin School" located in the churchyard.
