Stable buildings and screen wall, now partly store and partly incorporated
with school buildings. Probably partly c.1840 by Augustus Welby Northmore
Pugin and partly 1860s by Edward Welby Pugin; altered. Red brick with sandstone dressings, steeply pitched stone slate roofs. L-shaped, with large gatehouse, screen wall and corner tower on the south side, returned wall with an arched gateway (blocked) and another gatehouse on the east side. In Flemish or French
Gothic style. Square south gatehouse, of 2 stages, the upper standing
within the battlements of the lower, has triangular-headed archway, round
tourelles at the corners and a triangular tourelle rising from a corbel
over the apex of the arch, finished with a spirelet and linked at the back
to the upper stage of the tower, which has a steeply pitched mansard roof.
Embattled screen wall to the right, joined to a large circular corner tower
which has an over sailing octagonal upper stage and steeply-pitched
octagonal roof. The returned part of the screen wall has a large blocked
depressed-arch gateway surmounted by a bird, and at the further (north) end
a square gatehouse with crow-stepped gables. (Alterations to this area
include a free standing 2-storey classroom block occupying most of the
yard, and a range of single-storey classrooms attached to the inner side of
the east wall).
