Bluecoat School

Bluecoat School is a school building constructed in 1854 by G.F. Bodley, designed in the Gothic revival style. It is made of coursed and squared limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a concrete tile roof. The building is single-storey with an irregular, mainly L-shaped plan that includes a lower additional range at the rear.

The east front features a gable end of a wing that projects forward to the right, which is asymmetrical due to a catslide extension over a pointed arched doorway. There is a large mullioned and transomed window with trefoil heads and a colored tile pattern in the large tympanum above. The south side of the wing has two and three-light windows, while the main range to the left has two 2-light windows, all featuring trefoil heads. A tall chimney, mounted at the eaves and set between the windows, has a partly corbelled base and extends down as a buttress with a battered plinth.

To the left, a gabled porch projects forward, featuring a segmental arched doorway with a large trefoil tympanum recess above. The sides of the porch have a battered plinth below a simple moulding. The south end of the building has a gable end with a large plate-tracered pointed window. There is a lower wing that projects on the west side. The interior has not been inspected. This building is notable as one of Bodley's first executed designs.
