History

Dated 1838; built as a Church Schoolroom and Schoolmaster's House and capable of taking 50 to 60 children. The 1847 Education Report indicates that the school did not flourish and had closed after only a few years.

Exterior

Small one-and-a-half storeyed former schoolhouse in simple Tudor style; of rubble construction with renewed slate roof and overhanging, boarded eaves. Distinctive hexagonal stone chimney to centre with cornice and square base. Symmetrical 2 window front with gabled porch to centre. This has an inscribed, segmentally-arched, timber panel over the entrance; square headed openings to sides and seats within; boarded double doors. Flanking 3-light metal frame casement windows with diamond-paned metal-frame glazing over high transoms; slate lintels with stopped labels. Similar window to left hand gable end and another to 2 window rear; eaves raised in two places at rear to accommodate modern dormers. Plain 3 light window to right hand gable end where boundary wall steps up; attached monopitch-roofed outhouse.

Interior

Simple interior with triangular-shaped lobby created by diagonally placed doorways; schoolmaster's house to left and schoolroom to right, with fireplaces to central dividing wall.
