Full Description
A school and attached schoolhouse dating from 1846 to 1847, which was enlarged in 1886. It was constructed of coursed limestone rubble and limestone ashlar dressings and has slate roofs with stone coped gables with projecting gable stacks, tall polygonal ashlar shafts and rippled edges. The coat of arms of the Heneage family is centrally displayed on the south-western elevation of the schoolhouse. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}
Pevsner states that the building was constructed by E.J. Willson in 1846-7, and describes it as 'Modest, in warm stone, a single-storey schoolroom with two-storey house attached. Tudor style, with arched lights.' {2}
The former schoolrooms to the south-east of the schoolhouse were the subject of a programme of historic building recording, conducted in January 2016, to inform their proposed conversion to residential use. Originally consisting of a single range of north-east to south-west aligned schoolrooms, immediately adjoining the schoolhouse, the building represents a typical example of a Victorian village primary school. Several phases of extension are clear, although all were executed using the same materials and in a similar style to the original structure, which retains a remarkably cohesive appearance. The first extension in 1886 added a small outbuilding to the north-eastern end of the schoolroom. This was followed soon after by the addition of a second classroom and new porch, to the east of the main structure. The final extension was conducted in 1930, which added a new main entrance to the north of the second classroom, although this was later converted for use as a toilet block. The building continued to function as a primary school until 1969, and had a secondary use as a nursery school between 1983 and 2010. {3}{4}
