1685-1/5/13 (North side)
Cathedral School, including attached
wall, railings and doorway

GV II

Roman Catholic school. 1897. Designed by Paley and Austin.
Gothic Revival style. Snecked sandstone rubble, and slate
roofs with coped gables. Built on sloping ground with 4 gables
facing the road.
The right-hand (uphill) pair of gables originally belonged to
the School Room, wider and taller and with 3 windows, and to
the Classroom block, with 2 windows. Each window has 2
trefoiled lights with a transom, with a quatrefoil or
cinquefoil in the head under the chamfered pointed outer arch.
To left 2 further gables project forwards slightly and are of
a full 2 storeys. Each has a similar 2-light window, in a
pointed outer arch, with transom at the centre of the 1st
floor, plus each is flanked by 2-light mullioned windows. At
left on the ground floor 2 blocked segmental-arched openings,
originally to a covered playground. Under the right-hand gable
are 2 mullioned windows of 3 lights, to the left of a porch
which projects slightly and has a moulded doorway with a
hoodmould and depressed 2-centred arch.
In front of the school is a low wall of snecked rubble with
ashlar copings and piers and cast-iron railings. It curves to
follow the line of the road and terminates at its west end
against a taller wall surrounding a chamfered pointed doorway
with hoodmould. It has a stepped coping and above the arch is
a shield carved with a crown and monogram.
The school forms part of a complex of buildings associated
with St Peter's Roman Catholic Cathedral, St Peter's Road
(qv).
