II

School. Dated 1879, and probably by the same architect as similar school in Victoria Road. Coursed and roughly dressed stone with ashlar quoins and dressings; stone-coped tile roofs with blue tile bands; ashlar stacks. Plan: Schoolrooms, with assembly hall projecting to front, built on a U-plan with masters' houses projecting either side and linked across front by low wall with railings. Jacobethan style. Central assembly hall and flanking schoolrooms of one storey. Assembly hall has conical vents to roof with ridge parallel to front and continued as a hipped outshut to front broken by 3 gables with floating cornices over stone mullioned and transomed windows. Lower schoolroom blocks each have similar windows to flanking gables of right-angle wings, that to right having arched doorway set beneath tower with mullioned lantern windows surmounted by spirelet; each wing has additional outer entrance bay, with lower ridge parallel to assembly hall, smaller fenestration and gabled entrance bay with finial coping and arched doorway. Rear and side elevations in similar style with cross-gables and similar fenestration. INTERIOR includes open timber roofs and panelled doors. Subsidiary Features: 2-storey masters' houses each have similar 2- above 3-light windows to gable facing road, and similar fenestration to the inner elevation with cross gable to rear adjoining schoolroom. Low plinth wall to front surmounted by plain cast-iron railings with 3 cast-iron gates flanked by piers of a robust and simple design. A quite early and skilfully articulated example of a shcool in the Jacobethan style.
