Description


ST 47 SE WRAXALL CLEVEDON ROAD (south side)

3/182 Wraxall C. of E. Primary School

- II

School, formerly the Girls and Infants School. 1880 by William Butterfield, (possibly incorporating an earlier building of 1863); altered and enlarged 1902. Coursed rubble with freestone quoins and dressings; C20 tiled roof with coped raised verges and gables; ashlar stacks. Irregular T-plan, in a plain early Gothic style. The main elements of the composition are the central, projecting wing, which has a 3-light cross window with trefoil heads; and the adjoining 2 stage tower which has a pyramidal roof, paired, single-light, trefoil headed windows to the bell chamber (louvred vents) and a plank door in a shouldered, ashlar surround on the west side. Set back to the left of the centre is the former music room (with a stepped, 3-light cross window with trefoil heads in the gable end) and a projecting gabled porch dated 1902 and single storey school office; the door is similar to that in the tower. Set back to the right is another wing, with a similar doorway, and a 3-light cross window with trefoil heads in the west gable end.
