Abstract: |
An Historic Building Appraisal to assess and determine the value of the Grade II Listed part of the school. The assessment enables an understanding of phasing and development, together with modern alterations. The original school comprised four ranges surrounding a central courtyard which appears to have been used as a playground, a central division presumably separating the boys from the girls. There is evidence that the eastern side of the school (including a playground to the east side of the east range) was the boys' school, and hence forms the subject of this heritage statement. This occupied the east range and part of the south range, with one of two teacher's cottages in the north range directly accessed via a doorway (now blocked) from the east range. Overall, the present appearance of Haywards Old School is wholly recognisable from the original building. The most significant relevant change involved extensions to the south of the east and west ranges. This had occurred by 1874, and by 1905 both extensions were extended yet again, with a separate set of buildings to the south effectively creating a southern enclosed courtyard. Interestingly, all the extensions were carefully designed to emulate the original build so that the only discernible difference is the use of slightly different window surrounds in the latest phase. In this way, the expansions do not detract from the imposing Victorian institutional architecture. Most modern changes relate to the interior of the building, where walls have been knocked through and modern installations (including suspended ceilings and an office) detract from an appreciation of the original space. The garish colours in parts of the building are not in keeping with an historic building. |
