Old National School And Attached Steps

The Old National School, likely built in the 1840s, is a Tudor Gothic style building located in Tywardreath. Constructed from local rubble with granite dressings, it features dry Delabole slate roofs with coped gables. The school consists of two parallel ranges that face the street, connected at the front by an entrance passage. On the left side, there is a wing set back, and on the right, an entrance porch.

The exterior is a single storey with a symmetrical two-window front, flanked by gable ends and an entrance bay that includes a four-stage gabled bellcote tower positioned between two pairs of four-centred arched doorways that are set back. These doorways are moulded and have hoodmoulds. The building also features four-light transomed mullioned windows with hoodmoulds and four-centred arched lights, as well as ventilators in the gables. The porch on the far right has a shouldered doorway, and the side elevations include moulded wooden transomed mullioned windows.

In front of the doorways, there is a broad flight of granite steps, and a ramp was added on the left side in 1990. The interior has not been inspected.
