Description

Wraxall Church of England Primary School is a school building, formerly known as the Girls and Infants School, constructed in 1880 by William Butterfield, possibly incorporating an earlier building from 1863. It was altered and enlarged in 1902. The structure is made of coursed rubble with freestone quoins and dressings, topped with a 20th-century tiled roof featuring coped raised verges and gables, along with ashlar stacks. The building has an irregular T-plan and is designed in a plain early Gothic style.

Key architectural features include a central projecting wing with a three-light cross window that has trefoil heads, and an adjoining two-stage tower topped with a pyramidal roof. The tower features paired single-light, trefoil-headed windows in the bell chamber, which are louvred vents, and a plank door set in a shouldered ashlar surround on the west side. To the left of the center is the former music room, which has a stepped three-light cross window with trefoil heads in its gable end, along with a projecting gabled porch dated 1902 and a single-storey school office. The door of the office is similar to that of the tower. To the right, there is another wing with a similar doorway and a three-light cross window with trefoil heads in the west gable end.
