What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey Sunday school, built c.1860, having later porch to side (south-west) and lean-to addition to rear (north-west). Currently disused. Pitched slate roof with rendered eaves course and uPVC rainwater goods. Exposed rubble limestone wall to front (south-east) and side (north-east) elevations, rendered walls elsewhere. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills, block-and-start surrounds and voussoirs throughout, having exterior timber battened shutters. Square-headed door opening with uPVC door and overlight to porch.
A rare example of a purpose built nineteenth-century Sunday school. Its rubble limestone facade, in keeping with key elements of the nearby church, is enlivened by cut limestone sills, window surrounds and voussoirs. It is an interesting reminder of the religious education provisions made by the Church of Ireland in the nineteenth century.
