Old Grammer School

The building comprises a former schoolmaster’s house and an older grammar schoolroom. The schoolmaster's house dates from the 17th century and was restored in the early 19th century. It has been incorporated into a later school and used as a library. The house faces roughly southeast and is a three-storey, four-window block with a three-storey crosswing to the right. It has a slate roof, squared rubble stonework to the entrance front, and random rubble elsewhere. There are pairs of cylindrical stone chimneys to the left and a group of six cylindrical stone chimneys across the ridge, with a wide roof overhang to the left gable. Four steeply pitched dormer roofs each feature three brackets, and paired, horned sash windows. The first floor has two-light, mullioned and transomed windows under deep grey stone lintels. The ground floor has three three-light, mullioned and transomed windows under similar lintels. The fourth bay has a porch with a parapet topped by a statue of a griffin, and a square-headed entrance doorway with a boarded and nailed door. The gabled crosswing has a group of seven cylindrical stone chimneys. On the second and first floors, it features two-light, mullioned and transomed windows under deep grey stone lintels. A former ground floor window on the crosswing is now a doorway. The rear of the schoolmaster's house is attached at a right angle to the former Old Grammar Schoolroom. The exterior of the schoolroom is obscured by later buildings.

The grammar schoolroom's roof has six bays with five pegged arch-braced trusses, each with cusping above the collars. All trusses except the southern one have rose bosses. There are three tiers of stop-chamfered purlins with small cusped windbraces. A ventilator louvre is located in the fourth bay from the north. Inserted flat-roofed dormer type windows and skylights are present. The mullioned windows have deep splays and are generally of two lights, although the window to the north wall is three lights, with diapered iron casement glazing. Two doors are on the west elevation, one on the east, and a blocked doorway on the south wall is used as a recess for books. The walls are finished in scribed render.
