later extensions to the rear. Single storey, rectangular in plan form with four projecting gables
articulating front elevation. Prominent brick chimneys, gabled roof laid in clay tiles. Windows are
mixture of mullion and transom and casement set within stone surrounds, the combination of brick
and stone creating an attractive visual contrast. The building is significant because of age,
architectural detailing and due to its role within the social history of the village. It is an attractive
building retaining many of its external features and forms part of a group of C19 buildings found
throughout Quainton which represent a period of growth and change within the village. The
building continues in its original use as a school and remains an important focus to the community
life of the village. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
