Description
No. 240 High Street is a former grammar school, now used as offices. It was built in 1776 and altered and extended in 1844. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond and has a pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, is two storeys high, and features three bays facing High Street.
On the ground floor, there are four-pane sash windows set below a lintel and a segmental relieving arch, all recessed within a painted round arch that has an impost band. The first floor has eight-pane sash windows and a dentil cornice. The roof is hipped with end eaves stacks.
To the left, there is a recessed single-storey screen wall with a 20th-century part-glazed door, which is not of special interest. The right return features an impost band and a cornice return, with one matching ground-floor window and one blind first-floor window. Further to the right, there is likely an added house with slightly lower storeys, which includes a six-panel door and a 16-pane sash window on the ground floor, along with a round-arched staircase sash window with radial glazing at the top and another 16-pane sash window on the first floor. This section also has a dentil cornice and a stack at the right end.
The medieval grammar school originally stood in the churchyard and was replaced by this building, which was also located on church land.
