School. 1901, by Edward Shelbourn, with alterations and
extensions in 1908 by the same architect. Red brick with red
tiled roofs, wooden bargeboarding painted white. Simplified
Queen Anne style. Long range on east-west axis, facing south,
with short cross wings at both ends.
EXTERIOR: two-and-a-half storeys plus a short tower; 10 bays.
In front of the third bay is a projected single-storey
flat-roofed porch which has a round-headed doorway with
double-chamfered stone surround, a rectangular window to the
left and an embattled parapet. Behind is a 2-window integral
tower-bay which has vertically-offset pairs of stair windows
on 2 levels, and a square top stage with 3 round-headed
windows, a clock face and an embattled parapet.
To the left is a 2-and-a-half-storey, 2-window gabled wing
distinguished principally by a corbelled oriel in the centre
of the first floor, and left of that a short 2-storey
single-window extension with embattled parapet.
To the right of the tower the bays of the main range are
single-windowed and 2-windowed in sequence 1:2:1:2:1:2:2; the
second to the right has a large gabled attic oriel on
brackets, with 3-light sashed glazing and oversailing gable
verges with decorative strut-work in the apex; the 2-window
bays have 2-light attic windows under similar gables; the
single-window bays have single-light attic windows under
half-hipped roofs; the eighth bay has a 2-storey canted bay
window; these and most other windows are tall and
segmental-headed, and most have 2/2 sashes.
The gabled wing to the right (breaking forwards only slightly)
has an oriel like that of the left wing. 2 panelled chimney
stacks on the front slope.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
A simple and effective design carried by the decorative use of
gables.
