TIVERTON

SS9512 ST PAUL'S SQUARE, Tiverton 848-1/6/271 (South side) 14/12/72 School, adjacent to No.1 (Formerly Listed as: ST PAUL'S SQUARE (South side) School and No.1)

GV II

School, c1860. On the north side, St Paul's Square, the school is either designed to give the appearance of a terrace of houses or has been expanded into a terrace of middle class houses. Architect unknown to date. According to Brayshay the school was built for Caroline Brewin, the daughter of John Heathcoat, as part of a group of consistently designed buildings, including St Paul's Street and centred on St Paul's Church, built on land donated by Heathcoat and funded from rentals from the houses. MATERIALS: yellow Flemish bond brick to the show elevations; stone rubble rear and end walls with brick dressings, south end wall roughcast; slate roofs; stacks with brick shafts and crowned chimney pots; cast-iron rainwater goods; cast-iron window sills, similar to those found on Heathcoat's industrial housing. STYLE: Georgian. PLAN: the school is on a corner site between the south side of St Paul's Square and Brewing Road. The arrangement of windows suggests that there is a hall on the first floor at the east end. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 5-window front to Brewing Road, gabled to the front at the right end, with deep verges on brackets. The ground floor has three 16-pane hornless timber sashes and two roundheaded doorways which are domesticated in manner with rusticated quoins Greek key mouldings on the reveals and simple fanlights with spoke glazing bars. 4-panel front doors have the lower panels flush. Triple first-floor window in gable has a round-headed central sash with margin panes flanked by two 4 over 4-pane sashes. The St Paul's Square elevation is 10 bays arranged as the facades of 4 houses with the downpipes of the rainwater goods sunk in chases in the walls. 10 first-floor 16-pane timber hornless sashes. 4 doorways, matching those on the east end, all with disused panelled doors. The rear elevation retains sash windows. INTERIOR: partially inspected. Original joinery survives. (Southern History: Brayshay M: 'Heathcoat's Industrial Housing in Tiverton, Devon': 1991-: 82-104).
