Description
St Edmund's School, built in 1860 by Woodyer, is a Grade II* listed building located on School Lane. This Gothic-style structure is made of red brick and features a north-south hall range with a taller hall running east-west in the center. To the right is a two-storey former schoolhouse, which has stone gabled windows with stone mullions and transoms, all pointed and cusped headed. The south end has a pointed arched entrance in a single bay. The building is supported by vitreous brick buttresses.
The schoolhouse to the right is also two storeys high, with a stone band separating the levels. The left section has a stone-faced gable with triangular small pointed lights below and a pointed arched doorway. A stepped brick buttress divides this bay from the right-hand symmetrical part of the front, which features three gabled semi-dormers, each with two pointed lights. On the ground floor, there are two windows with four pointed lights and a central pointed arched door, all adorned with stone dressings.
Inside, the main school hall boasts a reset 14th-century roof from the old Maidenhead Inn, featuring hammerbeam trusses, four-centred arched collars, windbraces, and purlins.
