Description

Victorian First Pointed Gothic Style. Single storey school, now used as village hall, with two-storey gabled schoolhouse at E end with asymmetric gable. Small half hipped, lean-to at E end with a long, slated lean-to porch to front elevation, bracketed and in the manner of a pentice. Elevations of coursed limestone with steeply pitched, slated roof (replacement synthetic slates), with stone corbelled eaves. Front elevation lit by arcade of five trefoil-headed lancets, (now with plain glazing) with two-pane fixed lights and carved zig-zag decoration above, with hoodmould over. Between second and third light and fourth and fifth light arcading runs down to form a plain round shaft with complexly moulded capital. Above the porch are a pair of two-pane sashes beneath a two-centred, voussoired arch, with polychromy and hoodmould above with the inscription in the tympanum "Train the child in the way he should go". The asymmetrical coped gable has dog-tooth decoration to the verge and a carved finial depicting the Archangel Gabriel. Pair of original boarded doors with Gothic door furniture, with pair of two pane sashes to right hand side. Single trefoil-headed lancet to front elevation of lean-to with voussoired arch above with polychromy. E elevation has a pair of decorative, dressed stone chimney stacks, in medieval style with octagonal bases and twin shafts. Gable end has a high set, triple square-headed light, with C12 style round shafts as mullions, now blocked , with ashlar, squat stack, rising from the coped gable, and pierced by a small trefoil headed lancet. The W gable has a pair of long, later lancets beneath a relieving arch with cinquefoil in a roundel set above. An octagonal shafted chimney rises from the coped gable. To the W is a later, single storey, gabled addition of late Victorian character which intersects the buttressing on the SW corner. The rear elevation is unlit, with a small slated lean-to outshut.

Simple interior, with plain boarded ceiling. Only decorative feature is the arcading to the rear of the lancet lights to the front elevation which has simple shafts with nail-head decoration to the capitals to match those of the exterior.
