Description

St Henry's and the attached community centre is a building that originally served as a house and school, constructed in 1877 and funded by the Duke of Norfolk. It is made of coursed squared gritstone with gritstone dressings and features stone slate roofs, two stone stacks, and stone coped gables with moulded kneelers. The structure includes a single-storey schoolroom and a two-storey house in a cross-wing at the east end.

The east elevation is asymmetrical and consists of three bays. It has a central doorway with a Tudor-arched head and a chamfered surround, featuring a plank door with an overlight. To the left of the doorway is a single light window with a transom, while to the right is a two-storey canted bay window that has a four-light mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor and a four-light mullioned window above, with a two-light window to the left. A first-floor band rises over the windows and doors to form hoodmoulds.

The schoolroom has two and three-light mullioned and transomed windows with a band below. There is a gabled south porch with a chamfered round-arched entrance and a round-arched niche above that contains a statue of the Virgin. On the west gable, there is a cupola bell-cote with classical detailing, which is corbelled out on a buttress.
