Tockington Manor School

Tockington Manor School is a house that has been converted into a school. It dates back to the 16th century, with an asymmetrical entrance front built around 1712 by a Mayor of Bristol, and further additions and alterations made around 1780 and in the 20th century. The building is constructed of rubble with stone and brick dressings, featuring rusticated quoins, a slate roof with gable stacks, and double Roman tiled rear additions.

The structure has a T-plan that is now infilled and consists of three storeys with six windows, all of which are 12-pane sashes with thick glazing bars, moulded frames, and gauged brick segmental heads. The third floor has five windows with six panes in the same style. The third bay from the right includes a polygonal buttressed two-storey porch with a hipped roof, featuring a sash window on the first floor and a segmental-headed opening with a panelled and glass door.

On the east side, there are varied windows and 20th-century single-storey extensions, while the west side displays the gable end of the original house, which has been built up to the parapet of a 1780 rear addition that is two storeys high with five large sash windows, all featuring gauged brick heads and surrounds. The second window from the right on the ground floor has a French window replacing the lower sash, and there is a cornice and parapet above. The rear has four windows similar to those on the west side, along with 20th-century single-storey extensions with a gable end.

Inside, the entrance hall and west room are adorned with pine panelling, a dentil cornice, and a chair rail. The east room features Jacobean panelling, four-panelled doors, and shutters. The late 18th-century staircase hall is illuminated by a lantern and has geometrical glazing bars, with an open string stair and a wreathed handrail. The first-floor west room is oak-panelled and has S-shaped hinges on the cupboard doors.
