course, flanked at lower level with single lancets, all under
coped gable with bellcote; gabled square porch with blocked
plank doors to pointed arch under inscription WESLEYAN 1878
SCHOOL. To right and left are plank doors in deep chamfered
surrounds. Rubble returns, that to S partly concealed, but
includes one pointed light, and to N are 3 pointed lights to
flush quoins and heavy cills, and 2 lofty eaves stacks; this
side linked to main Church (qv) by 1906 wall with door. South
'transept' coped gable with kneelers over plain wall. Back
wing has 3 tall flush lights under coped gable with kneelers,
and a central ridge stack. In the re-entrant on N side a
boiler house and large square stack, also a small-paned
casement. Across front of property a dwarf wall, formerly with
railings; at the left end a tall square gate pier to
cross-gabled roll-top capping. Included mainly for group
