ashlar with slate roof. South wall, facing Moor Lane, of 5
bays with raised quoins and a plinth and with a doorway to the
left and with an upper row of low round-headed windows which
originally lit the gallery. The windows have plain reveals and
projecting sills and have recent joinery with glazing bars.
The 4th bay now contains a doorway. The main doorway has a
cornice hood on plain console brackets. The west wall is of 5
bays and has similar windows but is treated more elaborately.
The ground-floor windows in the 2nd and 4th bays have cornices
on console brackets, and the stonework of the central bay
projects forwards slightly and has a triangular pediment above
gallery window level. To each side at a higher level is a
small window with plain reveals. At the apex of the gable is a
small pedimented bellcote with a round-arched opening. To the
east and north are C20 extensions.
