Ladock School And School House Including Schoolhouse Boundary Wall To Se

Ladock School and School House, including the schoolhouse boundary wall to the southeast, was built in 1867 and is associated with patrons RE and MAH Wise. The building is constructed from shale rubble with granite dressings and features slate and asbestos slate roofs. Designed in a medieval vernacular style, the schoolroom is a single-storey structure with two bays, each containing a six-light granite mullioned window. The central entrance has a wooden porch set on stone plinths, featuring a segmental arch with roundels in the spandrels, and a decorated gable supported by brackets above. The asbestos slate roof includes four 20th-century skylights, which were originally gabled dormers, and there is a brick gable chimney on the left side.

The schoolhouse is L-shaped and has a slightly projecting gable front of two storeys. The ground floor features a central three-light mullioned window with a pointed arched centre light, while the first floor has a three-light flat-headed mullioned window with original leaded glazing, both with relieving arches. A lateral stone stack is adjacent to the schoolhouse gable. The right-hand return wall includes a shouldered headed doorway with a relieving arch and a cross in the tympanum. The first floor has a plaque with a relieving arch to the left and a hipped dormer above the door. The south wall of a later wing has a window similar to that of the south gable on the ground floor, with a flat-headed four-light mullion above it. The roofs are slate, and there is a stone gable chimney on the right side. The interiors are described as undistinguished. The wall with the gateway adjoining the schoolhouse features a pointed arch made of freestone, with reused steps underneath.
