History and Architecture:

Designed by John Horbury Hunt and built by John Tanner under the patronage of Isabel Osborne, in 1872. Constructed of brick and local sandstone, the Norman designed building had a thatched roof, which was replaced by shingles and then tiles. This was John Horbury Hunts’ first work and bears all of the structural honesty for which he was later to become famous. The Memorial gates for George V’s Diamond Jubilee erected in 1935.
