Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording for the old school house at Templeton, Tiverton, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the conversion, restoration and development of this complex and set the buildings in their historical and archaeological context. The School House was built in the late 19th century, on the site of a former farm building, which had formed part of courtyard of buildings associated with Cloggs Court to the east (now known as The Wolery). A room within Cloggs Court had previously been used as the village school. The building consists of a single celled school room, with two porches projecting to the south. The building is of marked Gothic influence and the school appears to have been developed out of an earlier stone building of unknown, but probable agricultural function. Interesting historic features survive within the building from both main phases of work. From the earlier agricultural phase these include adapted scissor trusses and from the school phase; there are boarded doors, numbered metal children's coat hooks, beaded panelling and the school piano. The building is aesthetically pleasing, with a considered design and Gothic influence, exhibiting dressed stone detailing and an accomplished attempt to adapt an existing form. There is some surviving evidence of the building's former physical form of probable agricultural function. The building is of high structural integrity and extraordinary authenticity, abandoned for much of the later 20th century. Whilst rural village schools are not rare in Devon, this is a particularly interesting and good quality example, smaller than most, of one room; of high survival levels and no doubt of immense local communal value to the village.
