Grammar School

Single range orientated N-S. Two-storey 3-window front facing W, constructed of rubble sandstone under a slate roof. Stone end stack to L, raised stone copings to gables and high moulded plinth. Three-light mullioned windows with flat heads, the lights with round heads, incised triangular spandrels and plain chamfered mullions. They contain small-pane diamond glazing. The front entrance is offset to the far L and has a shallow Tudor-arched head and chamfered jambs and contains a ribbed wooden door. The lower storey windows, to centre and R have hoodmoulds, but the 3 windows above do not. The N gable end has a 3-light mullioned window offset to the L, and a doorway (the original entrance) blocked with stone to the far R. To the 1st floor to L and R, are 2-light mullioned windows (without round-headed lights), also blocked with stone. The rear (E) side has a similar blocked window to the R of the upper storey. Three-light Tudor windows, as front but without hoodmoulds, to L and centre of ground floor, and infilled opening to R. Large central 4-light window with transom to S gable end, all the lights with round heads.

Five-bay open-plan interior. The building contains reused roof trusses, including a pair of C15-16 arched-brace trusses to the S. The braces are attached to chamfered tie beams, with raked struts above the collars. Two Queen-post trusses to N, that furthest N originally a collar-beam truss with tie beam and queen struts added beneath. The tie beam is said to bear an inscription 'IR 1762'. Two purlins to each roof pitch. Detail includes a flagstone floor, and raked sills and reveals to windows. There was formerly a gallery for the school master's accommodation at the N end, but this has been removed. It was accessed from a former 1st floor doorway in the N gable end, offset to the L and now blocked. Offset to the R is a square opening for a former fireplace with a lintel misaligned to its R. To the outer sides of the wall are 2 infilled window openings, both of which are visible from the exterior. The blocked entrance to the far L of the lower storey is marked by a narrow lintel. To the L of the E wall are blocked windows to each storey, both visible from outside.
