Description


SJ 74 SE MADELEY C.P. A525 (west side)

5/44 Sir John Offley
Primary School

GV II

School. 1875 and 1887. Coursed sandstone blocks on high chamfered
plinth with ashlar dressings and quoins, machine tiled roofs with
ornamental cresting. Asymmetrical, multiform plan in C17 Vernacular
style. Single-storey hall and classrooms lit by large 8-light mullion
window in projecting gable to left and by 2 gabled half-dormers to right,
beneath which are 2 lower, hip-roofed porches (1887); the lower range
against the right-hand gable end is also of this date; 2 prominent
tapering external stacks with round shafts and moulded capping, one to
the main range and one to the 1887 addition. The principal entrance is
to the rear through a mid-C20 red brick addition. The school owes its
original endowment to the will of Sir John Offley of Madeley Manor
(died 1658) and the C19 building was financed by Hungerford, Baron of
Crewe (cf Nos. 1-11, Station Road [Offley Almshouses]). B.O.E., p.200.
