GV II

Church of England school and attached houses. Mid C19. Red
Flemish-bond brick with Gault dressings and original steep
roofs of scalloped plain tiles and later roofs of plain tiles.
EXTERIOR: handed pair of 2-storey staff houses (one with later
attic) and tall single-storey classroom blocks either side.
The mid C19 works form a U-plan group. The pair of houses have
stone parapets to the end gables and a tall central stack with
2 diagonal shafts. Each house has, on the 1st floor, a 2-light
cast-iron lattice casement with steep gable over; on the
ground floor there is a door opening and a similar window of 3
lights. The 2 flanking classroom blocks, one for each sex,
slightly differ in detail but both have steep gables to the
frontage and a large square window with later glazing. The
south-east block is slightly narrower than its partner and has
a plain sash window in its front and a circular window with
quatrefoil light in the gable. The north-west block has corner
buttresses (angled to rear) and a similar large window to the
front.
All flank windows are paired plain sashes. To the rear of the
houses are small, wall-enclosed yards with pantile roofed
lean-tos. Each unit has a flank wall stack and No.37 a
low-pitched, gabled dormer with margin-glazed sash. The 1st
floors each have a lattice, 2-light casement and a plain sash
(later window unit in opening of No.35). The ground floors
have rear doors, and No.37 has a small sash. To the rear of
the old classrooms are C20 classroom blocks of red brick with
gabled plain tile roofs. A similar classroom block now flanks
and projects forward of the south-east block and all these
have plain paired sash windows.
INTERIOR: each original classroom block formerly had
connecting door to adjoining house.
Drawings of schemes, similar to that erected are held in the
Essex County Records Office.

buildings: 1830-1870).
