What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey school, built c.1820, having entrance porch to south. Pitched slate roofs. Rendered chimneystack to north gable. Lime render to walls. Six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows having limestone sills. Timber battened door to porch.
An early example of a rural school, having a fireplace and three windows to provide morning light from the east. Although now disused and not maintained, this school retains several interesting features and materials, such as the slate roof, lime render and small-pane sash windows. In addition to the architectural interest of the building this small school was of great social importance to the local community.
