Description
Chew Stoke School is a school building constructed in 1858 by Samuel Burleigh Gabriel on the site of a former charity school founded in 1718. A further classroom was added in 1926, and the building was altered and extended in 1970. The structure is made of coursed squared limestone rubble with stone dressings and features plain tiled roofs with raised coped verges.
The school has an asymmetrical design, with the main school room located at the southeast front. The irregular four-bay front includes a porch with a blocked pointed segmental-headed door on the left, a gable to the left, and two 20th-century windows. There is a large gable with a finial and a datestone, along with a 10-light mullion and transom window that has a chamfered surround and a buttress below. To the right is a second gabled porch with a similar blocked door, and the gable end of a block that may have been teacher's accommodation features a three-light stone bay window at the ground floor with a relieving arch, and a two-light casement with a relieving arch at the first floor.
The right return side includes a two-light, three-light, and single light chamfered window with relieving arches at the ground floor, and a door in a later gabled porch in the second bay from the left. There are two gabled attic windows, each with two lights. The rear has a lean-to with a 20th-century door and a two-light window in the gable end.
On the left return, the gable end of the hall features a 10-light mullion and transom window with a relieving arch and a bellcote, with a buttress to the right. The rear wing on the left has an eight-light mullion and transom window and a gable above, along with a shouldered door architrave and a 20th-century door. The side of the hall gable end has a door with strap hinges and a shouldered architrave, while the end block to the left includes an eight-light mullion and transom window and a gable, as well as a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed addition at the end of the rear wing. The inner rear side of the rear wing also has a similar eight-light mullion and transom window.
Inside, the main hall features a six-bay roof that is pine boarded with moulded ribs, along with a dedication plaque.
