Description
This is a school building located on Gloucester Street in Winchcombe, constructed in 1867 and 1897. It features squared and coursed limestone, with some pink stone used in the relieving arches, and has a stone slate roof with coped gables. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a later parallel range added in 1897. It includes a gabled entrance porch, four prominent stacks with moulded cappings, and an octagonal bellcote on the return gable.
The elevation facing the church has a buttressed porch and two steep gables above 2-light windows that have wide mullions and haunched heads, all topped with quatrefoils, with the details set flush to the wall. In the projecting gabled wing on the right, there are two cusped lancets beneath drips, flanked by a deep central buttress that supports a turret. Inside the porch, there is a fine original plank door with decorative straps.
The street elevation features a 3-light plate tracery window in each of the two gables, although the later one on the left has a drip mould and a trefoil opening above it. The interior remains largely as it was originally built, with arch-braced principals and scissors rafters arranged in six bays, divided into two sections of four and two, with a later glazed screen. The dado panelling has a castellated top moulding. This building reflects the philanthropic efforts of the Dent family, with the later wing being patroned by Emma Dent and likely constructed by John Oakey. It is connected by a wall to the School House.
