Parochial School

CAMBORNE CHURCH VIEW ROAD SW 64 SE Tuckingmill 5/43 (south side) Parochial School and No.75 GV II Parish school with attached master's house, now meeting room and private dwelling. Dated 1845 on west gable; slightly altered. Coursed dresssed red sandstone with granite dressings (house now painted white), with roofs of modern pantiles and slate respectively. School is T-plan with main range on north-south axis and wing projecting on west side, house attached to rear of north end of main range. All in Tudor style, with plinth, mullion- and-transom windows under hoodmoulds, and steeply-pitched roofs. The one-and-a-half storey north facade (school to right and house to left) has a round-headed doorway offset to the left, with chamfered surround and hoodmould; to the left, the house has a 6-light window altered to make a separate doorway in the centre and right-hand lights, and 2 single-light windows above; to the right, the school has a large 10-light window and a single-light window above, with original diamond-pattern glazing in wooden cames; the same glazing survives in the fenestration of the west side: an 8-light window in the main range on each side of the wing, and a large 10-light window in the gable of the wing. The main range south of the wing has a round-headed doorway with hoodmould (up 4 steps protected by iron handrails), and the gable of the wing has a cast-iron plaque with raised lettering:- "PAROCHIAL.SCHOOL TUCKINGMILL 1845" The item faces the Church of All Saints, Pendarves Street (q.v.) and is probably by the same architect, J.Hayward of Exeter.
