Cirencester County Junior School

Cirencester County Junior School is a school building dated 1880, located on Victoria Road in Cirencester. The building is constructed of rock-faced limestone with ashlar dressings, featuring clay tile roofs with coped verges to the main range and half-hipped roofs to the side wings. Ashlar stacks with moulded tops are present on the main range. Later brick wings with Welsh slate roofs extend to the rear.

The architectural style is Jacobethan. The main range is set back from Victoria Road and comprises three gables, with two breaking forward slightly to the left and right. Attached side wings also break forward and each have a single gable.

The main range is a single-storey building with five windows. The central bay features a four-light chamfered stone mullion-and-transom window, three lights high, with a king mullion in the centre and leaded lights, all within an ashlar surround that extends upwards to a moulded stone cornice and shaped gable. The gable includes carved decoration, the date 1880, flanked by two ball finials, and a decorative finial at the apex. Flanking the central window are two similar two-light chamfered stone mullion-and-transom windows with leaded lights, also with ashlar surrounds. Further two-light, three-light windows are situated in the gabled bays to the left and right, each featuring a floating pediment. The plinth has a moulded top, and a moulded string runs below the windows.

Three bays in the centre of the main range have pilaster strips flanking the central window. There is an ashlar frieze, a moulded stone cornice, and a balustraded parapet with panelled dies containing pierced finials, breaking forward over the pilaster strips and flanking windows; the pediment is ramped up to the central gable. Coped gables to the left and right have pointed finials on kneelers and at the apex. Single-storey screens link the main range to the side wings. These screens feature plank doors in pointed openings with moulded stone surrounds. To the left of the doors is a slit window. The screens have shaped gables with moulded stone coping and a finial at the apex. The flanking side wings, in a similar style to the main range, each feature one three-light chamfered stone mullion-and-transom window with leaded lights and a floating pediment.

The interior of the school was not inspected. The school opened in 1881 on this site as Upper School for Boys, superseding Cirencester Grammar School, which was subsequently renamed the Grammar School and is now a Junior and Infants School.
