School And School House

The School and School House is a village hall and house built in the mid-19th century, likely designed by Alfred Waterhouse. The walls are made of polygonal malmstone with Bath stone dressings, including quoins, a cill band, and a plinth. The front features a prominent tapered stack. The building has a notable tile roof, with a gable on the lower section and a higher gable for the house. On the east side of the house, there is a small dormer and a gabled north wing. The structure consists of a hall with four bays, along with a lower eastward extension of one bay that connects to a two-storeyed cross wing, which serves as the house. At the junction of the main building and the cross wing, there is a projecting porch. The windows are fitted with bullion and transom casements. The gabled porch is designed in a Gothic style, featuring a pointed arch under a hoodmould and side buttresses. The house continues this architectural style, with an entrance located at the angle of the east elevation, which is topped by a tiled canopy.
