G.V.

II

School 1866. J. M. and H. Taylor. Coursed rubble with ashlar
dressings and slate roof. Central hall is entered by porch
and is flanked at either end by cross-wings, the left
projecting a little, the right considerably and having
appendages to either side. The entrance porch has a flat
balustraded roof and two semi-circular headed openings. It
is accentuated by a small gable on the hall roof behind, and
an elaborate bellcote on the roof ridge. The window
openings generally in an Early English style are of 2, 3 and
4 lights, and circular windows are placed in the gables of
the cross-wings. The steeply pitched roof has a crested
ridge, several gables and numerous gabled dormer windows; it
plays an important role in this balanced asymmetrical
composition. Designed en suite with the Church.
