Full Description
School and house, structurally one building, constructed at some date between 1840s and 1880. House is high quality building of two storeys, red brick with black brick diaperwork in Tudor style, sawtooth cornices; central ridge stack and stack rising from slope of east gable. School itself, originally of similar style, is much altered.
Historically important as the school house from which the headmaster was evicted thus provoking the Burston School Strike of 1914 (see HER48834, Burston Strike School).
