School

This building is a school located on the north side of Masham Market Place. It was constructed in the mid-18th century, with additions from the early and late 19th centuries. The structure is made of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features graduated stone slate and machine-tile roofs.

The school consists of four blocks. The western block is two storeys high with two bays. It has a central four-panel door with a stone lintel. The right-hand bay features a 20th-century casement window with an unequally-hung 12-pane sash above, both with stone lintels and sills. The left-hand bay has a tall 19th-century cross window with a hood-mould. There are end stacks on this block.

Next to the western block is a one-storey block with three bays. It has a central gabled porch with a six-panel door under a hood-mould and a plaque above that reads, "This school house was rebuilt and enlarged in the year 1834 by Anne widow of William Danby esquire." The porch has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping. Above the porch is a two-light mullion window with a hood-mould, while the outer bays each have a cross-window with a hood-mould. All windows feature diagonal glazing bars, and there is a corbelled cornice. The central bay has a gablet with shaped kneelers and stone coping, which contains an arched bell opening with a bell. This block has a hipped roof.

The next block, dating from around 1760, is also one storey high with three bays. It has a plinth and chamfered quoins. All windows are arched with stone Gibbs surrounds and sills supported by brackets. There is a continuous impost band, and the Gothic arched sashes include a central window that is taller than the outer ones. The block has an eaves band and a hipped roof covered with machine tiles. To the right, there is a pedimented porch with a doorway that now has a 20th-century casement and a Gibbs surround.

The eastern block, built in the late 19th century, is one storey high with one bay. It features a tripartite window with casements and a plain stone surround, along with a sill band supported by a bracket. This block also has a cornice and a pediment with a keyed blind oculus.
