Jubilee School And Attached Schoolmaster'S House

The Jubilee School and attached schoolmaster’s house were built in 1810, with alterations and an extension in the late 19th century. The building is a single-story rubble sandstone range constructed of two parts under a continuous roof of later clay plain tiles, with a gabled end to the left and a hipped end to the right. A shallow front wing, added in the late 19th century, sits to the left of the original 1810 section. A rear wing, dating back to the earlier period, includes the schoolmaster’s house.

The original school building is a symmetrical range of five windows to the front, with three central, three-light pointed windows featuring moulded timber transoms and mullions (12:14:12 panes). Single-light, 14-pane pointed windows are located on either side. All windows contain timber frames, likely dating from the late 19th century. Dressed window surrounds in Killerton stone contrast with the red rubble stonework. Above the central window is an inscription panel, separately gabled with a dressed trap surround, bearing the inscription: 'JUBILEE SCHOOL. BUILT IN THE 50TH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF KING GEORGE III A.D. 1810 BY SIR THOMAS DYKE ACLAND, BT. THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM!' A stack with one pair of set-offs and a large (late 19th-century) three-light casement window (three panes to each light) is situated at the right-hand end. An inserted entrance door is located to the right of this window. The rear of the school features one three-light pointed window, identical to those at the front, and the original entrance is under a lean-to.

The gabled-end rear wing contains a schoolroom (with a late 19th-century three-light window) and the schoolmaster’s house, both continuing at the same ridge and eaves level. A small gabled dormer breaks the eaves of the house. An axial Tudor-style brick stack features triple octagonal shafts. A large square-headed three-light casement window (ten panes per light) sits under a pointed stone relieving arch. A door with a small 20th-century gabled porch is located nearby, accompanied by a two-light casement window to the right at ground-floor level (eight panes to each light). A masonry joint is present to the right of the window, and there’s a blocked entrance. The end elevation of the wing has three two-light windows.

The later 19th-century range and front wing have two windows and three to the front, all three-light windows (three panes to each light).
