School. Dated 1836, converted into a youth centre in the C20. Coursed granite rubble with granite dressings. Grouted scantle slate roof with gabled ends and red clay ridge tiles. There is a truncated ventilator over the ridge of the main range. Plan: Externally the plan consists of a main range with a cross-wing at the right end which does not project at the back and only slightly at the front where there is a single storey porch in the left hand angle. Originally the building must have been 2 storeys and the wing was probably separated internally from the main range. In the C20 the floors and partitions were removed and the building is now one large hall. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window range with the gable end of the 2-storey and attic cross-wing projecting slightly on the right with a single storey gable- ended porch projecting in the angle to the left of the cross-wing. Large chamfered granite windows with hoodmoulds, all the first floor windows have been blocked but the ground floor windows have C20 3-light wooden frames. The gable end of the cross- wing has a narrow single light attic window with a dripmould, now blocked. The porch has a chamfered granite doorway with run-out stops and a C20 plank door on the left side, and a small C20 sash on the front gable end in a chamfered granite frame with a hoodmould and a datestone '1836' above. The left hand gable end has similar windows with hoodmoulds to the main range front windows; they are blocked. The rear elevation has tall windows with unchamfered granite lintels, the right hand window of the main range has a 3-centred arch frame with spandrals. Including the former playground area wall at the front, low granite rubble wall with cemented capping; 2 pairs of single granite monolith gate-piers with semi-circular tops and 2 wrought iron gates. Interior is now one large hall without floors or internal partitions which have presumably been removed. Built as a British School in 1836 and conducted on the Lancaster system. Charles Fox of Trebah, in this parish, took a great interest in the establishment of the school. Source: Charles Henderson. A History of the Parish of Constantine in Cornwall. page 222.
