Full Description

Former school, now in use as a village hall. A small two bay, one and a half storey building of red brick in English Bond, under a steeply pitched gabled roof of concrete tiles. One large lateral stack with brick tumbling, reduced to below the height of the eaves and coped with tile. Windows with stone surrounds, including an ornate arched window on the south gable. The north gable has a blocked window opening with a datestone or dedication stone. Two gabled porches, one original on the north elevation and one built in the late 19th or early 20th century on the south elevation. There is a large single storey modern extension to the rear of the building, constructed of red brick under a single pitch roof of tile. {1} White’s 1872 Trade Directory states that a school was built by the former rector Rev. H. Lloyd, and was attended by 40 children of both sexes. {2} The Yarborough Parochial School was built in 1843 and closed in 1931. {3} The building can be seen in similar plan form on the 1888 and 1906 OS maps, with the only alteration during this time being the addition of the southern porch. The 1951 OS map still has the site labelled as a school, even though the school had closed and the building was in use as a village hall by this time. {4}{5}{6}
