Wesleyan School

The former Wesleyan School for girls, built in 1884, is constructed of granite ashlar in thin courses and features a slate hipped roof behind a parapet with a moulded cornice. A tall rendered stack with a modillion cornice is located on the right-hand return. The building has a rectangular plan with an entrance and stair hall on the left side. It is two storeys high and has a four-bay front, with the left-hand entrance bay and porch projecting forward, topped by a bellcote. The front elevation includes large round-arched two-light windows with round-arched lights and roundels as tracery, and the taller first-floor windows have leaded glazing. The entrance porch features a round-arched doorway with panelled doors and an oculus above the first-floor window. The four-bay right-hand return has windows similar to those on the front. The interior retains many original features, including the staircase and roof structure. This building, along with Truro School for boys, represents one of the only purpose-built Methodist schools for full-time education in Cornwall and is part of an important group of listed buildings that includes the large 1814 Wesleyan chapel, which is listed at Grade II*.
