Description
The Village School and Parish Room, built in 1830 at a cost of £360, was commissioned by Reverend H T Ellacombe, who likely provided the design. The building is constructed from Pennant stone rubble and features a pantile roof with wide eaves supported by modillions and coped verges with footstones. It has three pairs of two-light Tudor arched windows with moulded heads and drips. A central blind panel, inscribed "Village School Room built by Voluntary Subscriptions added to a grant from the National Society MDCCCXXX," is located above the windows.
To the right, there is a lower porch bay with a coped verge and a Tudor arch doorway that has a lozenge stop dripmould and a battened door. To the left, a projecting gabled cross wing has two windows and features five-light Tudor arch windows with drips. This wing has a slate roof and includes a lean-to porch with a moulded Tudor arch doorway and a lozenge step hood mould, which extends across the left side of the parish room windows. Additionally, two of the windows on the east side retain patterned cast-iron casements.
