IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Peel Drive, TAMWORTH, B77 5FG

This building is shown as a Club on 1924 maps of Wilnecote, but is in fact the former Holy Trinity Sunday School, most recently used by a scout group and currently awaiting a new use. This is a simple but attractive building, gabled to the street, of red brick with blue brick sill band and plinth and a pitched clay tile roof. The building has some attractive architectural features, including roundarched windows and door with elaborate decorative stone window heads. The original multi-paned windows are intact, each containing a row of stained-glass panes, with a row of frosted panes above. The street elevation has a lunette with 1894 date-stone above, and below a gabled porch built to resemble a stone pediment with decorative cornice. A roundel above the keystone contains a sculpted wreathed female head.
