SEDBERGH
SD6591 LOFTUS HILL, Sedbergh Town
162-1/20/405 (West side)
14/06/84 School House at Sedbergh School
GV II
Boarding house of Sedbergh School. 1878, by Paley & Austin,
apparently enlarged and slightly altered. Coursed sandstone
rubble, slate roof. Irregular H-plan formed by main range on
east-west axis with short projecting east and west wings (the
latter with a gabled cross-wing at its south end) and a tower
at the north-east corner. Subdued Jacobean style.
EXTERIOR: two-and-a-half storeys, a 6-window main range, with
2 buttresses (the second carried up to a chimney), and a
string-course over the ground floor; 9-light
mullion-and-transom windows on both floors of the 1st bay, a
similar window at ground floor of the 2nd bay and a 2-light
mullion window above, cross-windows at ground floor and
2-light windows at 1st floor of the other bays; gabled dormers
in the roof. Both wings are in similar style, but with less
regular fenestration, including multiple-light mullioned
windows in the gables, and have coped gables with kneelers.
The south end of the west return of the west wing achieves a
better stylistic effect, consisting of 3 gabled 2-window bays,
that in the centre having a half-dormer gable and that to the
right breaking forwards as a short wing, with a large canted
bay window to the 1st bay and a very prominent 5-sided bay
window to the 3rd bay, cross-window fenestration throughout
the ground floor, 2-light mullioned windows throughout the 1st
floor, one 4-light mullioned window to the top of each bay,
and gable coping with kneelers; further north the fenestration
is less regular. The tower at the north-east corner is square,
rises one stage above the eaves, has a louvred 1-light belfry
window in each side with a hoodmould, a coped parapet and a
pyramidal roof with a weathervane.
INTERIOR: fireplaces and staircase in corresponding style, and
datestone lettered 1878.
