All built of hard red brick with lavish buff terracotta ornament and dressings
in a style combining Romanesque with Perpendicular details. North entrance
front has broad shaped gable with flanking turret/buttresses capped by terracotta
finialed openwork cupolas. Above the porch are a pair of large richly decorated
Romanesque windows but with quatrefoil tracery. Well modelled angel in high
relief embracing central spandrel whilst the gable above has terracotta banding
and a narrow central arch motife with cresting to apex of gable. The projecting
porch has a terracotta Romanesque portal, flanked by Perpendicular cupola-capped
buttresses which rise to contain quatrefoil compartmented gable bisected on
the vertical, from the keystone of the arch through the apex, by a large ogee
finialed pinnacle. The side elevations including the gable ended school have
similar terracotta decoration, finials and buttress/turrets.
