LEDSHAM LS25 HOLYROOD LANE (south side) School House (formerly listed as "House occupied by Mrs. Adams")

GV II

School with attached master's house; now 2 dwellings. Earlier C18. Magnesian limestone rubble (school) and ashlar (house), composition tile roofs, brick chimneys. Long rectangular range in 2 unequal parts. Three and 2 storeys of nearly equal height, built back-to-earth at ground-floor level. The right-hand part is the house, of 2 storeys and 5 bays in classical style, which has at the left end (beside the junction) a panelled door with 4-pane overlight (protected by a modern stone porch); 12-pane boxed sashed windows on both floors, stone coping with moulded kneelers at the gable, and a 4-flue chimney stack in the centre of the ridge. To the left of the house is the school of 3 storeys and 3 bays, which has similar boxed sashes at ground floor and at the right-hand end of the 1st floor, two square 2-light casements at 1st floor, and three 2-light horizontal sliding sashes at 2nd floor; to the left of this part is an early service addition of one bay and formerly 3 storeys, altered to make 2 storeys, with a 16-pane boxed sash at ground floor, a 12-pane boxed sash above, and patched masonry in place of the former 2nd-floor window above. There is a coupled chimney stack at this junction, and another chimney at the junction with the house.

Interior: entrance to both parts was formerly by the door to the house, which now belongs to the former school although the room above the entrance hall, decorated with moulded plaster cornice and ceiling rose, belongs to the house; the principal room of the house has a deep moulded plaster cornice and coved alcove with wooden architrave. The school part has a very large sitting room (presumably formerly the school room), and rising along the rear wall a staircase with open string, scrolled brackets, and stick balusters; both parts have a longitudial rear passage at ground floor, formerly interconnected.

History: founded by Lady Betty Hastings as Boys' School, in parallel with orphanage (q.v.) for girls.
