Description
Pamphill Church of England First School was built in 1698 by Roger Gillingham of the Middle Temple as a school and almshouses, which are now incorporated into the school. The building features brick walls and tiled roofs with stone eaves courses and parapets topped with moulded brick copings. It is a single-storey structure with a long almshouse range and a taller schoolroom block at the center, creating a T-shaped plan. The schoolroom has a ledged door set in a classical stone surround with a curved broken pediment, flanked by two tall windows with glazing bars. Above the doorway, there is an inscribed stone plaque, and the gable above it is rendered with a blocked circular window. The former almshouse wings on either side of the schoolroom each contain four ledged doors and four casement windows with lead lights, along with a plat band above the window heads. There are various modern additions at the rear.
