School in Hovingham, North Yorkshire, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hovingham Primary School is a former school in Hovingham, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The school and attached teacher's house were built in 1864. An extension was added in 1880, to provide a primary schoolroom. The building was grade II listed in 1987.[1][2] By 2022, the school had no pupils and in 2023 it was closed down, against local objections. At the time, it was proposed that it would be converted to a community use.[3][4]
The school and house are built of stone with Welsh slate roofs. The school has a single storey, an open schoolroom to the east, and an extension to the north. In the centre of the main block is a three-light transomed window flanked by paired trefoil-headed windows. On the right return is an oriel window. The entrance on the left has a hood mould, over which is an inscribed plaque, and to its left is a window with a dated lintel and a half-dormer above. The house has two storeys, three bays, and an outshut on the left. It contains a bay window and trefoil-headed windows. Both buildings are surrounded by railings.[2][5]
