Description
The School House and Staunton Church Hall, originally the Staunton Church of England Primary School and School House, was built in 1862 by G.R. Clarke. This former school and schoolmaster's house is now used as a church hall and residence. The building features squared, coursed stone with ashlar dressings and a tiled roof, which includes two bands of fish-scale tiles on the schoolroom.
The structure consists of a three-bay, single-storey schoolroom with a rear wing and a two-bay, two-storey cross wing. The right gable of the cross wing has a plinth, a three-light mullioned window with stop-chamfered vertical arrisses, a stone lintel, and a relieving arch above. To the left, there is a boarded door accessed by one stone step, with a fanlight above and a pointed head in the stone lintel. The first floor features two two-light windows similar to those below, along with a trefoil vent in the gable. The parapet gable has projecting kneelers and a roll apex.
There are rendered chimneys on the right return and on the ridge at the rear, as well as on the left return, with the last two having moulded stone caps. The schoolroom is slightly set back to the left and has three two-light plate tracery windows with hoodmoulds and foliage stops, rising into dormers that have parapet gables and rolls on the ridge. The left gable wall is brought forward as a buttress, topped with a parapet gable that has a roll on the apex.
An open timber bellcote is situated on the ridge, supported by curved braces, and features a steep, square slated spire with an iron weathervane. The left return includes a three-light plate tracery window with a hoodmould and head stops, along with a trefoil vent above. There is also a boarded door on the left in a lean-to at the rear, with a flattened roof pitch above. The building forms a group with the Chartist cottages located opposite.
