Description

This is a National School, dating from 1847, with later 19th-century alterations and additions. The school is constructed of Ham Hill stone ashlar with a slate roof, stone copings to the gable ends, and a reconstructed stone stack to the right gable. The building has a roughly L-shaped layout.

The main facade is single-storey and symmetrical, with a four-window range. A raised parapet above the gable of the central projecting porch supports a rebuilt gabled belfry. The porch has planked double doors set in a Tudor arch with foliate spandrels and shield stops. Tall, three-light mullioned windows, with a single pane above and three below, have a continuous labelmould. Diagonal buttresses flank the corners. A carved scroll above the porch reads "Crewkerne National School, erected 1847." The rear wing to the left has four three-light stone mullioned windows with cast-iron glazing bars.

Inside the hall to the right, painted stone corbels support chamfered arch braces to a roof structure that is mostly concealed by a suspended ceiling with large wooden pendants projecting from it.

A rubblestone plinth with Ham Hill stone coping extends uphill into Barn Street and connects to the right-hand buttress. It supports spearhead railings with scroll supports and double gates to the centre, flanked by shorter sections of railing.
