Description
Great Wishford Church of England School is a primary school built in the mid-18th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick featuring vitrified headers and stone quoins, topped with a hipped tiled roof. The building is single storey with attic windows. The façade includes a round-arched chamfered stone doorway with keystones on either side, flanked by five round-arched stone window surrounds with keystones, featuring 24-pane fixed windows, with the middle window being narrow. An impost band runs along the top. The roof features three hipped dormers with pivot-hung windows. The right side of the building is windowless and has a three-brick plat band, while the left side has a 20th-century single-storey extension with a blocked round-arched doorway and a hipped roof. At the rear, there is a late 19th-century extension with pivot-hung windows and a Welsh slate roof. The interior retains four and six-panelled doors. The school was founded by Sir Richard Howe in 1722.
