Description

A single-storey former school in Elizabethan style, with higher 3-storey addition to the R in Georgian style. Walls are rendered and the roofs are slate. The main range has four 3-light windows with ovolo mullions and transoms of 1926 or later. At the L end is a link to the C20 public library (which replaces an earlier wing of the school). The 3-storey 2-window addition has a gabled bellcote to the L. It has been restored with small-pane horned sash windows in pairs on the R side. A porch is offset to the L. It has a doorway with ovolo-moulded jambs, renewed shallow triangular lintel. Above it, and beneath a drip mould, is an inscription tablet with a shield and '1603' and 'DH' in raised letters, with disc above. It has a replacement studded door. A parallel 2-storey rear wing has small-pane horned sashes. To its R the main range has two 3-light windows with unmoulded mullions and transoms.

The main hall has a roof of Tudor arched braces on a moulded cornice. A lateral stone fireplace has a Tudor arch with shields in the spandrels bearing the dates '1603' and '1926' in raised numerals. Above it is a classical style wooden war memorial with a roll call of the 1914-18 war. The interior has a panelled wainscot, a wide segmental arch spanning the link to the library and, at the opposite end, a roundel in the gable with low-relief bust of David Hughes.
