Full Description

Former primary school. Two red brick buildings. The larger consists of two ranges: An east-west aligned one and a half storey range that runs parallel to the road, with a pitched gabled tile roof. One gable stack. One brick buttress on the front elevation. Forming a cross-wing with this is a two storey range with a half hipped tile roof. A large window opening on the second storey of the front elevation has been infilled. The smaller building is a single storey hall under a steeply pitched gabled tile roof. The four brick buttresses on the west elevation appear to be later additions. {1} White's 1856 Trade Directory states that the school was built as National and Infant Schools in 1852 at cost of £400, and was attended at the time by around 100 pupils. {2} Later known as Aby Church of England Primary School, it closed in August 2009. {3}
