Stogursey School And Attached Schoolmaster'S House

Stogursey School and the attached schoolmaster's house, originally listed simply as "School," were built in 1860 with mid-20th century additions. The architect was John Norton, commissioned by Sir Peregrine Acland. The buildings are constructed from Samford Brett red sandstone random rubble with Bath stone dressings, featuring quoins, rusticated surrounds to openings, scalloped tiles, decorative ridge tiles, coped verges, finials at the gable ends, and a fleche.

The design follows a Gothic style with a symmetrical facade. It includes a school room and a central gabled entrance porch, with a tower and the schoolmaster's house to the right, and a library to the left, along with modern additions at the back. The facade has a two-storey gabled porch with a central two-light window flanked by tall gabled three-light windows, all featuring leaded panes. There are tall stepped stacks with moulded caps in the outer bays, and coats of arms in square panels on the chimney breasts.

The building has two moulded pointed arch entrances; the left one is blocked, while the right has a renewed oak door with leaded light. Above the entrance is a sunk chamfered panel inscribed "A Thanks offering by Sir P.P.F.P. Acland St. AD1860." The tall two-stage pyramid lead roofed tower is attached to the "L"-plan headmaster's house, which has two storeys and a symmetrical layout of one-to-one bays. The left side features a gabled two-light hollow chamfered mullion casement, while the right has a similar two-light casement on the gabled ground floor, a four-light canted bay, and a two-bay pointed arch arcade to the left with a single light window and a plank door. This school was given to the parish by Sir Peregrine Acland after his only daughter recovered from tuberculosis.
