Full Description

Former school building. One and a half storey building of yellow brick with red brick banding, under a pitched gabled roof of slate. The south gable end is whitewashed. A dentil course runs on every elevation under the eaves. There is a small single storey range to the rear. One gable stack to north. Modern extensions include porch and bow window on the south elevation, plus a modern flat roof dormer on the east pitch of the roof. It is assumed that the single storey range was used as a schoolroom, and the two storey element was the teacher's accommodation. {1} White's 1856 Trade Directory states that the National School was built in 1843 and was at the time attended by 26 pupils. The 1872 Directory states that the school was rebuilt in 1864 with a residence for the teacher, presumably in its current form, and was 'well attended'. {2}{3} It is unclear when the building ceased to be used as a school.
