Description
The Museum, originally a school founded around 1617 by Thomas Saunders of Woolstone, is a single-storey building constructed from chalk ashlar with a sarsen stone base, separated by a moulded limestone plinth. It features a stone slate roof and a brick stack. The front elevation facing the road has a two-window range, with 2-light cavetto-moulded chalk-mullioned casements. Similar 2-light casements are found in the gables. The opposite side wall includes a planked door framed by a moulded limestone architrave, topped with a gabled roof that has coping stones and displays the date. Inside, the three-bay roof features a chamfered and stopped tie-beam with windbraces, although the current ceiling obscures much of the roof structure.
