Tagged with: School building
The church school was founded in 1836, the patron Reverend W Wynn Williams; it was transfered to the National board in 1872 and closed in 1883. The schoolroom is now used as a Sunday school and assembly rooms for the nearby church of St Ceinwen.
A 2-storey, 5-window range, with ground floor domestic quarters and first floor schoolroom. Built of local rubble, predominantly gritstone. Slate roof with projecting eaves and unusually large slates laid to diminishing courses; rectangular, axial gable stacks, rendered with projecting caps and surmounted by paired octagonal brick chimneys with drip courses. The principal elevation is to SE; first floor windows are 16-pane side-hung casements (2nd window from left blind), ground floor modern 4-pane casements in earlier openings; all with brick, flat arched lintels, ground floor with slate hoodmoulds. There is a boarded door at the far right end and a modern gabled porch to left. The rear elevation has similarly detailed first floor windows and mixed modern ground floor windows; access to the school room is via stone steps leading up to a boarded door at the SW end.
The first floor contains a schoolroom which runs the full length of the range and retains some of the original benches, desk and boards.
Listed, notwithstanding alterations, as an unusual example of a mid C19 schoolroom range retaining a distinctive plan with the domestic accommodation housed beneath the school-room proper, and some contemporary detail. It forms a group with the nearby church of St Ceinwen.
