The Old Grammar School

The Old Grammar School is a building with a rectilinear plan and an extension on the left side. It is constructed from uncoursed sandstone rubble with squared quoins and features a slate roof, along with some alterations and additions made from red brick. There is a lateral stack of stone rubble that is placed off-centre, which has a later tapered brick stem. The first-floor windows, likely from the early 19th century, have hipped roofs that rise above the eaves line. At the time of inspection, these windows and others were being reconstructed or replaced. The ground floor has undergone alterations and rebuilding, with most openings now blocked. A partially blocked timber mullioned window can be seen to the right of the stack, along with an entrance featuring a 20th-century door to its right. The rear elevation also had windows that were being reconstructed and altered during the inspection.

Attached to the east gable end is a hearse shed, which has a hipped lean-to slate roof and a dressed chamfered arch opening with pointed boarded doors.

Inside, the ground floor features large stop-chamfered cross beams and stop-chamfered secondary beams, with some replacements and repairs. There is a fireplace with dressed stone jambs and a lintel inscribed with the date 1698 located in the front wall. The upper floor contains one lateral timber-framed wall, and a roof truss is partially visible. The tie-beam and some purlins exhibit 17th-century characteristics and are likely reused, while other timbers and iron cramps appear to be from the early 19th century. Additional partitions relate to a conversion that took place in the 1990s.
