Master's House and attached stone built portion of Shevington Community Primary School (Nursery Department)

II

School, now closed, 1814, founder probably Richard Perryn, Rector of Standish 1779-1826. Coursed dressed stone with a slate roof and brick chimney stack. Four bays, of which three are the school and one is the master's house to the left. Single bay in depth, but the master's house is deeper than school. Windows on two floors throughout, upper windows have eight lights in pairs with upper four opening, lower windows have 12 lights in pairs with upper four opening. Single storey entrance lobby with hipped roof to right, with single door to front and two windows to side. Plaque between school room and master's house reading "This school for pious and useful learning was built by voluntary subscription in the year of our Lord 1814 RPR". Separate entrance to master's house to left. At the rear the windows of the master's house have been altered, but on the school room the upper three windows have three 6-pane lights divided by two mullions, and one lower window has wooden mullions and transom with a side-hung casement to the centre light. The other two lower windows are pairs of French windows.

INTERIOR: Entrance lobby to right of single schoolroom which has windows on two levels but has only one storey. Two king-post roof trusses partly visible below false ceiling. Blocked fireplace at left end. Master's house has door to left into small lobby leading to front room with blocked fireplace to right, blocked door to right of fireplace into schoolroom. Door at rear leads to staircase to left and back room to right with door to schoolroom. First floor has two rooms.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE:
A rare surviving example of a single room school house and attached master's house from the early nineteenth century, this structure merits listing at Grade II.
