Schoolhouse

The Old School and Schoolhouse in Magor, Magor with Undy, Newport, is a single-storey school primarily built of red sandstone that is roughly dressed and coursed. It features an ashlar bellcote, copings, and some window and door surrounds, with some painted and others made of yellow brick. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and has deep dentilled verges on the east schoolroom, along with decorative end ridge tiles.

The building consists of parallel gabled wings for the classroom, hall, and house, which are connected by a cross wing. The south elevation showcases a gable with an apex stone and kneelers, along with a large segmental pointed arched window that has a hoodmould and Perpendicular tracery with a transom. The matching gable supports a bellcote featuring a trefoil bell opening and a quatrefoil above. The cross wing has windows with pointed lights set within rectangular frames, with the central window being larger and located under a dentilled gable. Other gothic details can be found in the windows and doorway, while the schoolroom windows are simpler with cambered arches.

The schoolhouse itself is two storeys high, has coped cross gables, and features two substantial stacks, one of which has a moulded cornice. The interior, which has been partly refurbished, retains some original panelling and dado rails.
