Description
Yorebridge Grammar School is a former school building dated 1848. It is constructed of coursed watershot rubble and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is single storey with a layout of two bays, one bay, and two bays. At the center, there is a two-storey gabled porch featuring a leaved board door beneath a paned fanlight, all set within a round-arched chamfered surround made of quoined, chamfered rustication. Above the porch, there is a round-arched paned window framed in ashlar. The eaves overhang with timber brackets, and the building has sash windows with glazing bars and lozenge-shaped slates. There are end stacks, and on the left and right returns, there are two round-arched paned windows in ashlar surrounds, complete with imposts and keystones. In the left gable, there is a plaque displaying the date. The school was originally founded as a Free Grammar School in 1601 by Anthony Besson of Worton Hall and Gray's Inn, and it was endowed with premises in York, which is now the Black Swan Inn.
