Description

This is a Church of England school with a master's house, built in 1850. It was likely designed by G T Andrews for the Hon Payan Dawnay of Beningborough Hall. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof. It comprises a two-storey, two-bay master's house on the left, and a single-storey schoolroom crosswing on the right.

The master’s house has a board door set within a quoined and moulded pointed-arch surround with a decorative hinge, and a shouldered-arched window above. A two-storey bay window has been added to the left side. A kneeler and coping are visible on the left-hand side, along with a lateral stack and a ridge stack, both featuring octagonal flues.

The schoolroom is gabled, with off-set diagonal buttresses. A large canted bay window has a window of two trefoil-headed lights to each face, a cornice, and a sloping stone roof. A clock is hung from a decorative iron bracket above the bay window, and a quatrefoil sits in the apex of the gable with a finial base. The right return side of the schoolroom has four bays, with the right bay lower and set back. It features a roll-moulded plinth, off-set buttresses, a cill band, and pointed-arch windows each of two trefoil-headed lights and a roundel, with an eaves band. The right bay is partially masked by a 20th-century porch and addition. The site sits on that of an earlier school originally founded in 1655, with a bequest from Ann Middleton.
