Main Classroom Block And Assembly Hall Giggleswick School

The Main Classroom Block and Assembly Hall at Giggleswick School was built around 1885 by the architectural firm Austin and Paley. This two-storey building is constructed from squared stone with stone dressings and features a Westmorland slate roof. It has a central staircase plan and consists of three bays, with a projecting central entrance bay. The entrance is marked by a round arch with a moulded surround, a hood mould, and a plank door.

On the ground floor, there are four mullioned and transomed windows, with a drip course above the two left-hand windows. The tall central staircase window has three mullioned lights and two transoms, also with a hood mould. The window contains stained glass from the old school dating back to around 1850. A clock face is situated in the gable. The left and right dormers have canted bay fronts, and there is a tall ridge stack located to the left of center. The left-hand return features two projecting gabled bays that are linked by a three-bay range, which has two tall half-dormers.
