Building record 1519001000 - Former village school, The Green

Former village school converted to residential use. 1862 incorporating earlier chapel (1840s); white brick
with stone dressings and parapet verges. Remainder schoolmaster’s house, post-1879. Front porch to chapel with diagonal buttresses. Tudor style arch to front door. Rooms to either side under leanto
roofs. Slate roof. Extended to SE for school house in white gault brick. Casement windows with small
square panes under simple segmental heads. Former chapel bell probably housed in bellcote above
buttress in centre of rear main gable.
Significance: Part of one of the communal village buildings, with a philanthropic origin; an educational
building which has an ornamental role in this part of the estate village, survives largely intact.
Issues: Stone parapets may have been removed on reroofing (new brick to verges). The front setting is
divided by a hedge so that the building is not seen as a whole with the extension. A local note building within the conservation area of Mentmore (B1).
