Kings School House

King’s School House is an independent school house, part of the King’s School, with a larger portion serving as the headmaster's residence and a former service wing now a flat. The core of the building dates from around 1500, with a smaller house constructed around 1590 for William Blackleech, Chancellor to the Bishop of Gloucester. This house was enlarged in 1623 for Archdeacon Abraham Blackleech, further enlarged and refronted in the late 18th century, and has been used as a school house since around 1920.

The building incorporates timber framing, ashlar, brick, a shallow pitched slate roof, and a stuccoed wing with a tiled roof, with brick gable-end stacks. The main range faces the garden on the east side and comprises a long, symmetrical front of seven bays faced in ashlar. A slightly projecting, wider central bay features a recessed entrance doorway with side-lights, a segmental fanlight, fielded six-panel door, reeded pilasters, and an entablature with a raised panel. There are sashes with glazing bars on the ground, first and second floors (3x4 panes and 3x2 panes on the second floor) with projecting stone sills. A stuccoed wing extends to the left, featuring sashes with glazing bars on both floors and in the side and rear elevations.

The interior of the headmaster's residence is believed to contain exposed 16th-century framing, and a room on the first floor has an early 17th-century stone chimney-piece with two tiers of Corinthian columns, an entablature, and early 17th-century panelling. Exposed beams are present in the wing.

Historically, the building served as the cathedral prebendal house for the prebend of the fifth stall, with the prebendary from 1718 holding the position of Master of Pembroke College, Oxford.
