1875 by Giles & Gough of London. (1)
On the Strategic Property database, the 'old head's house', now classrooms, is dated 1877. The 'old school block' was built in 1929. Much later CLASP work. (2)
A Grammar School built in 1875-77. The architects were Giles and Gough of London. The rear quad was added in 1929. A stone building with Gothic details; a small amount of elaboration is provided by ashlar quoins and moulded archways. Window openings are mullioned and transomed, occasionally with Gothic tracery; the windows are mostly restored metal casements, though some stained-glass lights survive. Elaborate iron hoppers survive. A separate technical block is now absorbed into the quad. The master’s house fronts the main range of the building. To the front is a boundary wall with gate piers. The kitchen has a graduated Westmorland slate roof. The great hall has an impressive truss roof, ornate raised dias and gallery. The ‘Panel Room’ has wood panelling throughout and an original stone fireplace. (NCC Schools Survey 2004) (3)
