Full Description

Former school building. One and a half storey rendered and colourwashed brick building with red brick quoins and window surrounds. Red brick dentil course at eaves height, with dogtoothing on the gable ends. Gables are corbelled. One large ridge stack. A dedication stone is inscribed 'NATIONAL SCHOOL 1865', with the cypher of Queen Victoria on a stone plaque above. {1} White's 1856 Trade Directory states that the National School was erected in 1825, by subscription. The school was rebuilt with a teacher's residence (possibly the large cross-gable to the north) in 1866 at a cost of £1000. {2}{3} The school appears to have been closed by the early 1990s, replaced by the nearby Fourfields Primary School, and later converted into a daycare centre. {4}
