NHER 19216 (Building record) - School House,Former Burnham Thorpe Public Elementary School.

Pleasant flint and brick building of two storeys with central projecting porch tower. Probably early 18th century though built in 17th century style. In its east wall is reused medieval stone. Presumably from church like that in churchyard wall.

Rusticated quoins. Gable has two shaft stack and lozenge. Wing to west flint, wing to east clunch. End stacks and dogtooth cornice. All window frames replaced 20th century.

(S1) has confused the alignment, which is north to south rather than east to west; the porch projects eastwards. Exterior of north end (called east end in (S1)) alone seen. This is of squared clunch; but the quoins as well as the window surrounds are of brick with horizontal skintlings. This end of the building must therefore be a post 1770 rebuild. There is one large block of reused limestone in the north wall.

In 1797 Lord Walpole donated a house to the parish to be used as a school and an extension was added in 1873 when it had 95 children in attendance. The school closed in 1980 and has been a private residance since 1981.
See (S2) for further details.
