Description

Manor Hall is a school building, now used as a hall, dated 1868 on the front. It was built by Sir John Henry Greville Smith and Charles Edward Athole Colston, Lords of The Manor, and has undergone some 20th-century alterations. The structure is made of snecked rubble with limestone dressings and features banded blue and grey slate roofs with crestings, along with some asbestos slates on the south side. It is designed in an asymmetrical Gothic style and has two storeys.

The south front has a gable that projects forward to the left, featuring a three-light pointed arched window with quatrefoils. To the right, there is a bellcote with engaged half-shafts, a hipped roof, and a pineapple finial. A small central gable contains a six-light chamfered mullion and transom window, with a circular pierced stone window above it. To the left, there are two three-light windows with shouldered heads, and to the right, there is one similar window, a single light window, and a small gabled porch with barge boards and a finial. To the right of the main façade, there is a narrow gabled wing with a single light at both the ground and first floor, and a canted bay at the far right which has a six-pane window at the front and three-pane windows on each side. The first floor of the bay features a four-pane central window with two-pane windows on each side, all beneath a hipped roof.

The right return has a stack rising from the eaves on the left, limestone quoins, and a two-light casement window at the ground floor right. Above this is a small gable with a 20th-century window and a stone quatrefoil. The roof has louvred cupolas on the ridges. The rear of the building includes a single-storey wing on the left with two single lights, one of which is a 20th-century replacement for a former door. There is a gable with two round-headed single lights, a small gabled block with a door and a single light with a relieving arch, and a single light above. The central rear of the main hall has two three-light windows with shouldered heads, similar to those on the front. The three gable ends of the wings to the right each have large three-light windows, with a pointed arch on the right and two to the left featuring shouldered heads and a glazed upper section in a pointed arch with a relieving arch. The interior has not been inspected.
