Grade II Listed former school house and school room. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-131054-the-old-school-house-baunton-gloucesters Built on an 'L'-shaped plan of coursed squared and dressed Cotswold limestone, with a stone slate roof with ashlar and artificial stone chimney stacks, it consists of a two-storey school house (right) with single-storey school room (left) adjoining at right angles. All of the windows are 2-light, stone-mullioned casements with diamond leaded panes. The gable of the school house has an off-centre gabled porch, and there is a similar porch for the school room. Each porch has a Tudor-arched doorway; the shield above that of the school room is initialled and dated 'J. M. 1849' while that of the school house is blank. Each porch gable and the south-facing gable of the school house has stepped coping, roll-cross saddles (the decorative stones at their apex), and triangular kneelers (the large stones at the foot of the gable). The school house porch is now blocked, with a 2-light casement inserted into the blocking.
