Description
The 1874 village school has retained its character well since modern extensions have been made subordinate to the original building which included a house for the schoolmaster. In this way the school, despite large extensions and modern additions, has kept the 'cosy' character of a traditional small village school. The orangey-red brick laid in Flemish bond is particularly attractive and there is a diaper pattern on the upper storey brickwork facing Church Road (the former schoolmaster’s house). The stone dressings around doors and windows contrast with the brick and lend dignity to the building. The bell-cote (now minus the bell) has been retained on the roof. Built in 1874 by George Almond of Burnham. Architect not known. This is a significant building/building of note within the conservation area (B1).
