Description
The Old Grammar School is a school building dating from around 1740, although it was altered and enlarged in the 19th century. It is constructed from regularly coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings, featuring projecting quoins, coped gables, moulded kneelers, and an off-centre ridge stack with a moulded cap. The roof is covered with Welsh slate.
The building has two storeys and consists of four bays, with stepped buttresses that separate the bays. There are advanced entrance porches at each end, which have flat roofs and chamfered copings. The windows are 2-light flush mullioned types; those on the ground floor include transoms, while the first-floor windows have hoodmoulds with stops. All windows have 20th-century small paned casements. The plain doorways are located on the returns of the entrance porches, and there are blind openings on the south walls of the porches beneath the hoodmoulds with stops. Additionally, there is a single bay addition at the east end with a canted end, and a stone stairway leads to a doorway on the first floor.
