National School

The National School, now serving as a school hall, was built in 1837. It is constructed from squared and coursed stone, featuring ashlar buttresses and dressings, and has a steeply pitched Welsh slate roof. The building is a single free-standing unit with six bays on one level, characterized by plain glazed lancets set in double chamfer surrounds, and grouped triple lancets in the north and south gables. The structure includes plat buttresses with double offsets. On the left side, there is a small pointed doorway adorned with rich decorative elements such as chevron, dog-tooth, and ball flower, which is reputed to have come from Kingswood Abbey, although there is no documentary evidence for this and the doorway has been largely rebuilt. The gables feature flat stone copings, with a floriated apex cross present only at the north end. There is a later small unit at right angles linked to the south end of the building. The interior is plain, with a new dropped ceiling and three small niches, possibly used as book cupboards, located in the west wall.
