Ysgol Trelawnyd

The original school room retains a 4-bay king-post roof, of which the posts are octagonal below the level of raking struts. The original school house retains an open-well stair with plain balusters and square newels with gablets to pyramidal caps.

Gothic style asymmetrical school of rubble stone with Bath stone dressings, and steep slate roof, incorporating a band of slates laid in a lozenge pattern, behind coped gables on moulded kneelers. The kneelers are enriched by blind trefoils in gablets. The original single-storey school room and 2-storey school house are separated by a central coped gable, which has a tall stack at the rear. The school house has a slightly lower ridge line. The arched windows have hood moulds with round stops. The windows are mostly replaced in original openings. The front faces S and the original schoolroom, on the L side, has low angle buttresses, while the school house on the R side has clasping buttresses.

Doorways to the schoolroom and house are offset R of centre either side of the central gable, and within a canopy under an outshut roof. The canopy has a single central fluted cast iron column. Both doorways have nook shafts, 2-centred arches with filleted roll mouldings, and boarded doors with flowing strap hinges. The doorways are flanked by small square-headed windows. Above the R-hand doorway is a window of 3 cusped lights lighting the school house stairs, beneath a pyramidal roof with apex weathervane. The accent on the school room is provided by a projecting, lower gabled bay with a pair of 2-light geometrical windows with plate tracery, separated by a buttress carrying the gable bellcote. The bellcote has a moulded string course above corbels at the base, and is ashlar with a coped gable. A segmental pointed arch has a hood mould continuous with a string course. The bell has been removed. On the L side of the gabled bay is a stone stack rising from the eaves of the main range, while further L are 2 cusped lights above an added flat-roofed boiler room. The schoolroom is principally lit by a large 3-light geometrical window with plate tracery in the gable end.

On the R side of the entrance the house has a projecting 2-storey gabled bay. In the lower storey is a 3-light mullioned window with shouldered lintel and hood mould, above which is a window of 2 cusped lights, under a pointed hood mould, the tympanum of which has a blank shield. In the R side wall of the projecting bay is a canted 2-light bay window with cusped lights under a stone slab roof in the lower storey. Brought forward to its R is the gable end of the main range, which has a stone stack on its L side. The upper storey has a 2-light mullioned window, the lower storey a similar 2-light window offset to the L, a boarded door under a segmental head to the R, and a small window in a shallow integral rear lean-to.

Against the rear of the main range is a single-storey parallel gabled wing, and a higher wing at the W end at right angles behind the schoolroom. In its upper storey, the rear of the school house has a tall stone eaves stack L of centre, to the R of which are a single and a 2-light window beneath a gablet. The rear wing behind the schoolroom is continuous with the gable end of the main range. It has a link to an added late C20 block, which is set well back from the original building, and behind the link the wing has a 2-light mullioned window. The gable end of the wing has a large brick segmental-headed window facing the rear.
