Full Description

Former National School buildings. Two storey red brick building in Header Bond, under a pitched gabled slate roof. Coped and corbelled gables. Stone quoins and dressed ashlar stone door and window surrounds. One large crenellated ridge stack. Adjacent is a single storey red brick building in English Bond, under a pitched gabled slate roof. Low stone coped plinth, stone quoins. Dressed ashlar door and window surrounds. The large window on the front elevation is a modern replacement, the brick arch of the original can still be seen above the newer ashlar surround. {1} White's 1856 Trade Directory states that a National School was built in 1850, at a cost of £850. {2} It is unclear when the building ceased to be used as a school.
