and clock tower over, linked to pedimented wings by unfluted
Doric column screens now with glazing between.
Central entrance has chanelled rustication and a round-arched
head. This section breaks forward and above the entablature
supports an octagonal small clock tower with leaded dome. The

paried Doric half columns either side of a moulded stone
doorcase with pediment supported by consoles. Double doors and
overlights with decorative glazing.

small windows over, with decorative glazing. The other section
of the rear has large glazed openings to ground floor with
further door and windows to left. First floor has single or
