Description

Church Schools built in 1863, constructed from rubble with a Cotswold stone roof, and extended from the Great Almshouses. The building is designed in the Tudor style and is single storey. It features large three-light lancet type windows on the west side, each with square labels. To the left, there is a Tudor arched doorway with a label and a nail-studded door. On the right, there is a 15th-century bellcote located on the eaves. The north side, which faces the churchyard, has a second, steeper pitched gable that is presumably from the 17th century, along with an ashlar chimney and an additional L-plan extension to the east.
