Red brick Tudor-style Song School built in 1866. (1)
Purpose-built school building, of 1866, which sits on the north-east edge of the former churchyard close to Wilson Street. A Tudor-Revival style building executed in red brick with stone dressings and rounded chimney stacks. The Song School was founded by Thomas Magnus in 1532, though it is not known where the original school was located. It may have been held in the church itself, or in the house of the Master of the Song School Robert Kirkbye, who lived on North Gate. The current building was commissioned in 1864 and funded by the sale of land belonging to the charity. The architect was Charles Bailey of Newark and the builder was Sam Fretwell. (2)
