Full Description

Former school building. Two storey red brick building in C-shape plan form, under a pitched gabled roof of slate. The building comprises a central east southeast-west southwest aligned range with a cross-wing at each end of the south southwest elevation. One lateral stack. Polychromatic brick banding and window lintels. The small central gable has a stone coat of arms, faded and illegible, and a datestone inscribed '1876'. The building is currently in disuse, though in good material condition. {1} White's 1872 Trade Directory mentions a school and attached house for the schoolmistress in Bilsby, erected in 1860, though it is unclear if this is the same building or even on the same site. {2} It is unclear when the building ceased to be used as a school.
