School and schoolmaster's house. 1810 with later C19 alterations and extension. A
one storeyed rubble sandstone range of 2 builds under a continuous roof of later
clay plain tiles, gabled end to left, hipped to right. The 1810 work lies to the
right of a shallow front wing which, with the range to the left belongs to the late
C19. The rear wing includes the house and dates from the earlier period.
The old school: 5-window symmetrical range to front, 3 central, 3-light pointed
windows with moulded timber transoms and mullions (with 12:14:12 panes). 1-light,
14-pane pointed windows to each side. All timber, probably late C19. Dressed
window surrounds in Killerton stone contrast nicely with red rubble. Over the
central window, the eaves line is broken by an inscription panel with dressed trap
surround, separately gabled, which bears the legend: 'JUBILEE SCHOOL. BUILT IN THE
50TH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF KING GEORGE III A.D. 1810 BY SIR THOMAS DYKE ACLAND, BT.
THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM!' Right-hand end with stack in dressed
trap, one pair of set-offs and one large (late C19) 3-light casement window, 3 panes
to each light belong. Inserted entrance door to right of window.
Rear of old school: one 3-light pointed window identical to those at the front, and
original entrance under lean-to. Gabled-end rear wing containing one school room
(with late C19 3-light window) and the house which continues at the same ridge and
eaves level, the latter broken by one small gabled dormer. Axial Tudor-style brick
stack with triple octagonal shafts. Large square-headed 3-light casement window 10
panes per light, under a pointed stone relieving arch. Door with little C20 gabled
porch, with a 2-light casement window to the right at ground-floor level, timber, 8
panes to each light. Masonry joint to right of this and a blocked entrance. End
