School, now a night club. 1867. By George Somers Clarke Senior
for the Swan Downer School, which was founded in 1816 for the
education of 20 poor girls; the foundation stone was laid by
the Rev HM Wagner in 1867. Brown brick laid in English bond
with dressings of red brick and stone, now painted to the
level of the springing of the entrance; roofs of tiles and
lead.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 2-window range to Dyke Road. There is an
entrance wing to the left, under a steeply hipped roof, and a
main wing to the right under a higher, pitched roof.
Flat-arched entrance under a pointed arch with an ogee
hoodmould, the tympanum filled with a shield and scrolls. 2
pairs of lancets in the main wing, each pair divided by a
column which supports part of the vaulting below the
first-floor oriel; chamfered corner to first floor with a
traceried niche at the head. Oriel window to first floor in
the form of a broad bay supported on shafts and vaulting, the
larger, central shaft in the form of a squat column with
capitals of interlaced foliage, the subsidiary shafts rising
from between the ground-floor windows; the vaulting and the
lower part of the oriel window have lost their details; the
bay itself has 4 windows to the front and one to each side,
divided by exceedingly slim columns with spiral fluting to the
lower part and tiny capitals; above them toplights with
mouchette tracery of great inventiveness; cornice with
ballflower ornament and gargoyles to the corners; hipped lead
roof to the bay, divided into 2 so as to give place to a
lozenge window with original mouchette tracery and a crocketed
hoodmould with foliage finial. 3-light window over the
entrance, its blank toplights decorated with mouchettes,
quatrefoils and shields; cornice with now decayed heads above;
parapet decorated with S-scrolled openwork; the principal
gable has tumbled-in brickwork and openwork stone crowstepping
terminating in a finial; external side stacks corbelled out
below the eaves with tumbled-in brickwork and offsets; the
roof to the entrance wing has leadwork apparently for a
finial, now missing.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
