Description

The School House and Marsworth Church of England First School. The village school, which was constructed in 1841, makes a strong visual contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. Situated behind a low brick wall and white metal railings, the distinctive character of the building results from the decorative effects of the buff and red brickwork, the steeply pitched tile roofs, the prominent dormer on the principal elevation and the bell on the apex of the gable. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Marsworth (B1).
