Former Christ Church School
GV II
School. 1842, for the National Society; enlarged and altered.
Common brick in Flemish bond with red sandstone dressings,
slate roof. F-plan formed by main range parallel to street
with projecting wings offset left of centre and at right-hand
end, and short set-back wing at left end.
EXTERIOR: single storey, 2:1:1:3 windows; with rusticated
quoins. The gable end of the wing to the left has a
triple-window feature composed of a central cross-window and
narrow flanking blind windows, with stone architraves linked
by their hoodmoulds, and above this a stone tablet with raised
lettering "CHRIST CHURCH / NATIONAL SCHOOL / 1842" (the
figures of the date on corbel feet); the right-hand wing has
stepped cross-windows (but the lower part covered by a short
flat-roofed extension in matching style). The main range has 2
cross-windows to the left and one in the centre, with
architraves in similar style; and a C20 doorway in the angle
with the right wing.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Except for the Merchant Taylors Free Grammar School (now part
of Merchant Taylors Girls' School, Liverpool Road, qv), this
building appears to be the oldest public school in Crosby.
