Description

Kearstwick Institute is a one-storey hall built in 1902 in a Free Gothic style. The building features squared coursed rubble and a hipped slate roof with small gablets. It has three chimneys, with the left one having two round stacks. The facade facing the road is almost symmetrical, showcasing two large Gothic windows in the center and different doorways at each end. Angle buttresses extend into the corners. The windows are of a late Gothic design, featuring arched heads, mullions, transoms, and cusped ogee heads for the lights, along with a cusped circle at the top. Each window includes small leaded lattice panes and is topped with a small gable that has wooden bracing.

The left doorway has a flat head and a large trefoil tympanum, while the right doorway features a two-centred arch with continuously moulded jambs. Each doorway has a plaque set in a square moulded surround, with a depiction of St George and the Dragon on the left and a record of the building's donation on the right. The doors are made of planks and have ornamental iron furniture of different designs. There are elaborate iron rainwater heads. The left side elevation includes two single light transom windows with ogee cusping, while the right side elevation has one window with five similar square-headed lights, all with lattice panes. The building was constructed by Henry and Olivia Bentinck of Underley Hall in memory of Thomas Earl of Bective.
