Laxton Grammar School

Laxton Grammar School, built in 1881 by John Sebastian Gwilt, is a Tudor-style building located on North Street. It stands four storeys tall and is constructed of coursed rubble. The top storey features four windows, three with two lights and one with three lights, all with stone mullions. The second floor has three windows of four lights and one of six lights. The first floor includes two four-light windows, two lights above the door, and one six-light window. The ground floor, or high basement, contains two two-light windows, an arched doorway with a scraper, and another two-light window.

The building is topped with a parapet and cornice, and there is a gable above the central coat of arms, complete with a finial. Carved coats of arms are situated between the second and top floors, and there is a string course between the first and second floors. To the right, there is a taller tower section that also rises four storeys, featuring a crenellated parapet and one window per storey, with three lancet lights on the top storey and four-light windows on the other storeys. This section is dated 1885.

The corner elevation facing North Street is designed in a Gothic style, with a gable topped by a finial and a griffin holding a standard. It includes kneelers, a large perpendicular window, and a plaque in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin above an arched doorway with shield terminals. The main elevation facing the Church Yard has an oriel window with a pointed roof and is open on the ground floor with four arched openings and one narrower opening, all featuring dripmoulds. The first floor has five windows of four arched lights with mullions. The roof is made of Welsh slate with red ridge tiles.

To the west, there is a late 19th-century section with two windows above two six-light windows with mullions and transoms. Further west is a section from 1933, also in coursed rubble, featuring one long oriel window and a crenellated parapet with a ten-light mullion and transom, along with a coat of arms at the base. There is a doorway to the right.

Laxton Grammar School is part of a group with The Cloisters on New Street, and all the listed buildings on the west side of North Street form a cohesive group.
