Full Description
A large school, attached to the Wesleyan chapel on Mill Lane, was built in 1852. The original building appears to survive. {1}
The original building still stands, and has recently been surveyed prior to conversion to a residential dwelling. There are signs of earlier alteration in the building fabric e.g. a blocked doorway, possible blocked fireplace and indications of an earlier, lower eaves line. There is a lean-to attached to the western end of the school, a relatively recent addition. Internally, the building appears to have originally contained only one large room, later divided to form two. The building is a single storey structure, of handmade red brick with a pantile roof and single light windows with pointed arch brick hood moulds. The door, within a small porch, has a similar shape and decoration to the windows. The building was purpose built as a school in 1852, and the school master and mistress in 1856 were Thomas Jones and Sarah Lamb. {3}{4}
The chapel (MLI85995) and school were visited in 2009. The school is built of red brick with a gabled pantile roof with a raised gable with stone copings. The chapel closed in 2003 and the former chapel and school room have been converted to four residential units which were for sale in 2009.{5}
