Originally a schoolroom, the earliest elements date to 1567, with additions in 1856 and 1866 and other nineteenth century alterations. The building is in red brick with ashlar quoins and dressings, a fishscale tile roof, and stone coped gables with finials. The school has a single storey, five bay front, with set back, three bay, nineteenth century flanking wings, that to the north being gables. The front has a stone plinth, a central bay window of three lights, and a stone embattled parapet. The central window is flanked by pairs of three light windows, all with narrow chamfered stone mullions and leaded lights. To the south, there is a three bay wing, with a central, arched, stone doorway flanked by three light stone mullioned windows. Above the door an inscribed panel reads 'This wing erected MD CCCLVI'. To the north is a similar door and window arrangement, with a moulded parapet bearing a scrolled panel with the date 1866. Behind is a gable with a four light mullioned and hooded window and an inscription panel above. Adjoining is a 'Tudor' gateway within a brick wall with a moulded stone coping. The building was erected as a Free Grammar School.
