School, now village hall. Dated 1866 on hopper. Possibly by Sir Charles Barry Jnr. Yellow brick with stone dressings, truncated ridge stack and tiled roof with bands of fishscale tiles and a crested ridge. Gothic Revival style. L-shaped plan with hall and left-hand classroom. Single storey; 4-window range. A left-hand projecting gabled wing and right-hand end gable have roll-top copings with kneelers and finials; the school room has 3 gabled half dormers with tall 2-centre-arched windows with drip moulds and 2-light windows with a timber mullion to a transom, hoppers and downpipes between each dormer, and terracotta panels in the gables of the outer windows; the wing has a canted 4-light bay with a hipped roof, and paired windows above with a column mullion, foliate capital and drip moulds. 2 small trefoil dormer vents. Right-hand gable contains a large 2-centre-arched window with a hoodmould, 3 mullion windows with chamfered surrounds and glazing bars, and an overlight with thin mullion glazing bars. Rear elevation has a central entrance set forward, lateral stacks with cornices flanking a steep gable with roll-top coping and finial, and a chamfered 2-centre-arched doorway with glazing bars to a half-glazed door and overlight. Either side are mid C20 lean-to extensions. INTERIOR contains an arch-braced roof, without decorative details. HISTORICAL NOTE: part of a large number of similarly styled estate buildings on the Canford Estate, associated with Lady Wimborne. Charles Barry worked on several and may have been involved with this estate school, which is designed in a more vigorous Gothic style than other buildings on the estate.
