Description:
19th century school. Externally the building, originally built to an H-plan, consisting of a central block set east-west, with cross wings at each end, survives well but there have been a series of extensions to the school in the later 20th century. Internally the whole school has been thoroughly remodelled in the late 20th century; the only earlier features exposed are in the eastern cross wing which remains divided into two class rooms which are open to the original roof, with collar-beam trusses. Recorded in 2015 ahead of demolition.
