Description
Ash School is a village school located on Main Street, built in 1846 and extended in 1894. The building is constructed from coursed rubble made of Ham stone and features a Welsh slate roof with stepped coped gables and a sawn stone ridge. It has a brick chimney stack and an open timber bell turret topped with a pyramidal lead roof. The east elevation is single-storey with six bays, featuring pairs of plain lancet windows with horizontal-bar inserts. The fifth bay includes a projecting porch with a shouldered-arched doorway on the south side, a lancet and pointed-arch doorway on the north side, and a quatrefoil window on the east with a pair of slit vents above. There is also a shield plaque that reads "Ash Church of England School 1846." The south gable has two lancet windows, while the north gable has three lancet windows, an old clock face, and a gable vent. The interior has not been seen.
