Description
The building is a Sunday school constructed in 1871, made of coursed gritstone with gritstone dressings. It features a slate roof with crested ridge tiles, stone coped gables, and stone gable end stacks. The rectangular plan includes a projecting south porch, a cross wing at the west end, and various lean-to structures on the north and south sides.
On the south elevation, which is raised above road level, there is a central porch with a polygonal front that has four lancet windows. There are flanking stairs on each side leading to doorways with pointed arches, featuring plank doors with elaborate iron hinges. The porch is flanked by two-light pointed arched windows with geometrical tracery, with three to the right and two to the left, separated by buttresses with two set-offs. Each end has a lean-to; the right side has lancet windows above, while the left side features a rose window in the gable of the cross wing. Both the west and east gables include a wheel window with trefoiled segments set within a pointed arched surround with a horizontal sill. The boundary wall to the road has chamfered coping stones and gate piers.
