lintels, 3 directly below eaves and one to either side of boarded door with
horned glazing bar sash to far left. Rubblestone integral end stack by Clough
Williams Ellis to right. No.4 (north side) also has late C19 and early C20
casements (mostly leaded) with wood lintels, 3 to first floor and 5 to ground
floor, 4 to left and one to right of C20 glazed door with contemporary flat hood

attached to right gable end, formerly gabled, has hip-roofed extension. School
has small casement to left of central glazed door with stone slate hood and
cast-iron bow window (c.1939) to right. School attached to north has two 3-light
leaded latticed mullion windows with dripstones to east side, 3 tall fixed-light
windows to north apsidal projection and glazing bar sashes and doorway to square

Interior. No.4 only inspected. Has chamfered ceiling beams and joists to
ground-floor rooms but considerably altered c.1939 and later.
C20 flat-roofed addition in angle to rear of No 2 is not of special architectural interest.
