A splendid piece of Victorian polychromy. In an Italian Gothic style by Hills and Fletcher with A. and C. Harston in 1869-70. The tower in particular is a lovely touch with its spired dome, rich carvings and decorative frieze. Grade II listed. At the time of the photo, the building appeared to be disused, although, externally at least, it seemed to be in reasonable condition.
