Description

Church school and attached house in Tudor Gothic style constructed in snecked blue lias stone with limestone ashlar dressings, coped gables and slate roofs. Picturesque asymmetric elevations with single storey L-plan school facing Church Street, backing onto one-and-a-half storey L-plan house facing High Street. High Street elevation has stone ridge stack formerly with octagonal shafts, Church St N end gable has single octagonal-shafted chimney. Raised plinth, ashlar quoins, ashlar flush mullion windows and small-paned metal framed glazing, except to big schoolroom window which has leaded lights.

To Church Street, big projecting centre gable with 4-light mullion window and 2 transoms, Tudor arched heads to upper lights, and hoodmould. Above a blank shield plaque in recessed square frame. To each side a ledged door with ornate hinges in ashlar segmental-pointed doorcase. Door to left has main roof carried down over, while that to right is under a bell-tower, though walling is carried across flush. To left a short diagonal buttress, to right a large 2-stage diagonal buttress. Tower has narrow ashlar loops to ground floor S return and first-floor front, and has chamfered ashlar coping (well below roof ridge level), then recessed square ashlar bell-stage with 2 plain louvred openings each side and steep slate pyramid roof. North wing has one 5-light mullion and transom window, without hoodmould but with Tudor-arched upper window heads. Slightly lower wing (the side wing of teacher's house) runs to right with one ground-floor single light, Tudor-arched with small-paned metal glazing. Gable end to High Street has similar ground floor 3-light and first floor 2-light, no hoodmoulds. Small loop in gable.
