What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey school, built c. 1880, having canted bay to front (south) elevation and single-bay two-storey extension with oriel window to west elevation. Hipped slate roof with render eaves course, overhanging eaves and rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls having limestone plinth courses. Square-headed bipartite openings with render label mouldings, limestone sills and fixed windows. Square-headed opening having render label moulding and half-glazed timber panelled double-leaf doors.
An unusual school, built to a design more associated with villa style housing. The oversailing eaves and canted bay are typical features of Victorian villas. The retention of the fine time windows and doors contribute considerably to its character.
