4/20 Alvanley School and
former Schoolmaster's
House.
GV
II
Village school and schoolmaster's house circa 1860, possibly by
J S Crowther. Brown brick; stone dressings; grey slate roof. In C13
manner. L-shaped school with projecting cross-gable right; 1 1/2 storey
schoolmaster's house forms cross-gable left. Brickwork almost wholly
in header bond. The central bay has a triple lancet window to
schoolroom under a flush gable, with door to left in steeply
shoulder-arched opening. Diminishing chimney with octagonal shaft of
stone at junction of central bay and right cross-wing. The cross-wing
has window of 3 trefoil-headed lights to front, a clock under gabled
canopy on brackets and a small steepled belfry containing C17 bell
from the church opposite (q.v.) which was rebuilt in 1860. Right side
of cross-wing has 1 flush gable and 1 projecting gable, each with a
triple lancet window. Schoolmaster's house has boarded door in
shoulder-arched opening with trefoil overlight, a 4-light mullioned
and transomed window and a 3-light leaded lattice dormer over. A
pleasing, informal composition. Interior of school altered. "The
church (St. John's q.v.) has character and the school more so" -
Pevsner. The two buildings are of compatible character. Hence the
tentative attribution of the school to J S Crowther.
