WEYMOUTH
SY6683 DORCHESTER ROAD, Broadwey 873-1/8/423 (East side) 14/06/74 Nos.566A AND 566B School House (Formerly Listed as: DORCHESTER ROAD, Broadwey Broadwey Primary School)
GV II
Primary school, now semi-detached houses. 1839. Coursed and squared stone, tile roofs. The original simple hipped building, immediately opposite the Church of St Nicholas (qv), has later gabled ranges at either end, the front wall in a continuous plane immediately at the pavement rear. The main building is in 1 storey with attic, and has three C20 dormers above 3 wood casements of 3, 2 and 3 lights, with transom; the lights above the transom have pointed tracery bars, and there are stopped labels. The plinth dies to the pavement, left, with the rise in the street, and there is a stack to the rear. To the left the gable end has a C20 3-light casement at each level, and the return has a dormer above a swept-down roof section over a door and window. The right end is similar, with late C20 windows. The unusual Gothick casements were clearly the work of the joiner for the windows to Lorton Farmhouse (qv). INTERIOR: not inspected.
