Description
The Old Grammar School is a building with a 15th-century foundation. It was largely rebuilt in 1863 by C.A. Buckler in the Cotswold style of the mid-17th century. The building is two and a half storeys high, constructed of ashlar with a Cotswold stone tile roof and four chimneys; three rise from the ridge, and one serves as a gable finial. It is composed of two parts, with six bays, five of which have gables. The principal gable, positioned off-centre to the left, is larger and incorporates a coat of arms, as well as a two-storey angled bay with a one-three-one light arrangement. To the left of this is an entrance bay, topped with a small gabled bell cote. A string course serves as a label mould to the first floor. The building features three-light mullioned windows to the first floor, with matching dormers above. Ground floor windows are four-light mullion and transom windows, while the ground and attic windows have drip moulds. A four-centred entrance is positioned to the left of the right-hand section, featuring inscribed voussoirs. A small window is located to the left of the entrance, sharing a common drip mould. A two-light, small window is situated above the entrance, below the eaves. To the left of the right-hand section is a pointed arch doorway. A portion of the rear wall at the south-west end represents the original three-storey building from the early 17th century.
Internally, the school room survives in a restored state, reflecting its original form from 1628. A large chimney piece displays a 17th-century stone bust of the founder, John Fereby, set within a classical niche in a broken segmental pediment.
