Library, With Wall And Gateway Attached To North East Corner

The building is a former free school, now serving as a library, dating from around 1650. It was founded by Robert Veysey, who bequeathed £100 for its construction in "ashleane worke" as stated in his will from 1635. The first schoolmaster was not appointed until 1653. The structure is made of ashlar stone and features a stone slate roof, with moulded gable copings and kneelers, as well as ashlar chimneys. It has a T-plan layout with a small catslide extension at the north-east corner. The building is one storey high with an attic and consists of three bays.

The exterior includes a moulded plinth and hollow chamfered stone mullion windows with arched lights and Tudor hoodmoulds. On the south side, there is a three-light window on the ground floor, flanked by two gables with two-light windows, one of which has a blocked window and chimney. A central 20th-century gabled roof dormer features a two-light wooden casement. There is a 19th-century board door inserted between the left bays. The gable end facing the road has a four-light window on the ground floor and a three-light window above. The far gable end has two two-light windows on the ground floor and two boarded-up single lights in the attic.

A three-storey porch and stair turret project from the centre of the north side, which includes single lights in the attic gables, a two-light stair window, and a door to the north. This door is set within a four-centred stone arch with moulded spandrels. Attached to the catslide extension is a short section of rubble stone wall with pitched coping, which steps up over a gateway featuring a moulded four-centred arch. The wall is from the early 19th century, but the archway may be reused. Inside, there is a small 18th-century fireplace in the east bay, complete with a moulded wooden architrave and dentil cornice.
