Former National School

The Former National School, now a hall, was built in 1837. It features a front made of granite ashlar with a plinth and rusticated quoins. The building has pointed hoodmoulds and a cavetto-moulded cornice at the parapet, which is interrupted by a central open pediment. The roof is hipped and covered with asbestos slate, and it has two gabled dormers, while the larger rear wing is covered with scantle slate. The structure consists of a rectangular front range with parallel rear wings at right angles, with the deeper wing on the right spanning the river. It is a single-storey building with a symmetrical Gothic-style road frontage that has four windows arranged in a 2:1:2 bay pattern. The windows are blind ashlar with pointed arches, and there is a central doorway also with a pointed arch. The rear of the building has old windows that are boarded over and set under segmental brick arches. Inside, there is a scissor-truss roof structure in the main roof. This building is a distinguished example of its type.
