cross-wing at left-hand end having chamfered mullioned and transomed
window with hood and with 3 upper lights and 5 lower lights. Further

north is an addition of 1906 in a similar style. South facade has
gable of school to left with bellcote and with a window similar to that
of the cross-wing of the west facade. The entrance is to the right,
into a porch linking the school with school house. The door has a
chamfered surround with Tudor-arched head, 3 mullioned lights over,
and inscribed date '1874'. The school house to the right is of 2 storeys
with hipped roofs. At the right in a cross-wing with a 2-storey timber
canted bay window, having a band of slate hanging, and rising above
eaves level with its own hipped roof. The main part of the house facade
has an 8-light chamfered mullioned and transomed window on the ground
floor and 4-light and 3-light mullioned windows on the 1st floor. In
the angle with the cross-wing is a porch, partly timbered and under a
slate roof. Plans deposited in the Lancashire Record Office (PR 3047),
made by Paley and Austin and dated 1870, show a building almost identical
in plan to the existing school, but differing in some of the details of the
elevation.
