What is recorded here

Detached multiple-bay single-storey school, built c.1930. The building is L-plan and the main entrance is in the crux of the ‘L’. It is finished in render and has a small fleche to the centre of the roof. The front door has a multiple-pane fanlight over. Window openings are flat-headed and have six over nine and two over three timber sash tripartite frames. The hipped roof is finished with natural slate and cast-iron rainwater goods. Chimneystacks are rendered with slightly corbelled caps and clay pots; they are set on small gables which rise from the hips at each end of the roof. The school is set back behind wrought-iron railings and matching gate and is within a tarred playground.
The school adds a sense of continuity between the mainly 19th-century buildings of the town and the present day. It is well preserved and adds variety to the towns heritage.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
