Read the whole record

Detached three-bay two-storey former school, built c.1850, no longer in use. Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystacks, red brick eaves course, clay ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined rendered walls, rubble sandstone walls visible to rear (east) elevation. Square-headed window openings, some with tooled limestone sills, and with timber sliding sash windows throughout, eight-over-eight pane to front (west) and side elevations, two-over-two pane to ground floor to rear, gauged-brick opening having nine-pane timber frame window to first floor to rear. Moulded render apron under central first floor window to front probably originally having plaque or sign. Segmental-headed door opening to front, having timber battened door and boarded over-light. Tooled stone steps abutting north elevation with rubble stone parapet wall and stone capping, accessing corrugated-iron porch and timber battened door, now much overgrown. Rendered walls visible to interior, with some original timber fittings and furniture.

This well-composed modestly-scaled school was built to a simple domestic design but is distinguished by a variety of original timber sliding sash windows. The render apron to the front may have held a date plaque. Prominently sited on the roadside, this building is highly visible in the surrounding landscape, in which it presents an attractive form. Indicated as a school on the first edition OS map, this building may have replaced an earlier school and the site has long been an integral part of the social history of the locality.
