PARISH OF RISLEY DERBY ROAD SK 46 NE 2/94 (North Side) Latin College and 2.9.52 the Latin Cottage (formerly listed as 'Latin School, Latin College GV II*

School, now schoolroom and cottage. c1720 endowed by Elizabeth Grey of Risley Hall in her will of 1720. Red brick, on sand- stone ashlar plinth with chamfered copings, and sandstone dressings. Steeply pitched plain tile roof, slightly bell canted, with rounded stone copings and plain brick kneelers to gables, plus a stepped and dentilled brick eaves cornice. Single storey plus garrets, and basement to west as the land slopes away. Four bays. Main elevation has steps up to a central doorcase which has a wide, raised, plain stone surround with chamfered inner edge and double, panelled C18 doors. The doorcase is set in a tall flat headed recess of similar width to the door and of similar height to the very tall windows to either side. There are two 2-light windows to either side, each almost the full height of the building and with timber mullions and double transoms, under wedge stone lintels. Fenestration is C20 leaded lights, either fixed or casements. West gable wall has two similar windows with a blocked garret window above and two plank doors below in the basement. The windows have dentilled bands over. Inside, the eastern half has been converted into a house with an intermediate floor whilst the west room has its original C18 school fittings, ie: oak benches against the north, south and west walls with raised and fielded panelled backs, and the raised and fielded oak panelled bench- like desks along the north wall, also the master's chair against the west wall with a fluted pilastered over-panel topped by a stepped broken pediment and with a raised and fielded semi- circular headed central panel. To the centre of the north wall is the C18 fireplace with its original bolection moulding cut back and covered by a Victorian grate but with its mantle shelf still intact. This school was built as a pair to the Grammar School and both buildings appear on a 1722 map housed in the Derbyshire County Record Office, although the Derbyshire Victoria County History states that this school was built in 1724 and the other in 1758.
