Set back from the road at the junction with Bunkers Hill, and the R-hand of the houses forming the old National School.  

 

 

Built as a National School in 1816 (date on building) and shown on the 1829 town plan. The school was superseded by a Board school in the 1870s. The building originally had 2 schoolrooms with end entrances and 4 windows between them. Owned by the Baron Hill estate, it was converted to a laundry after closure, but by 1889 was 2 dwellings. Replacement windows were re-set at a lower level than the original windows and internal partitions were created. It was sold by the Baron Hill estate in 1921.  

 

Not inspected.  

Listed for its special architectural interest as a former National School retaining C19 character and detail following its conversion to a dwelling.  

7-9 Steeple Lane A single-storey late Georgian-style school of coursed rubble-stone front, hipped roof of graded slates, and 3 added brick ridge stacks. Its original symmetrical front has been slightly altered. In the centre is a re-painted slate panel, reading 'National School erected 1816'. The entrance to No 7, on the L-hand side, has a replacement half-glazed panelled door under a stone lintel. To its R are two 12-pane hornless sash windows under cambered heads, above which is brickwork infilled below the original lintels at eaves level. No 9 has 2 similar horned sash windows, except that stonework was used to infill the space below the original lintels, and a similar window is at the R end, which has vertical joints below the sill, indicating that it was originally a doorway. No 9 has a recessed entrance to the R-hand side of the R end wall, with a modern door. Against the L side wall (No 7), is a lean-to of scribed roughcast under a corrugated iron roof (enclosing a 12-pane hornless sash window in the main range). The rear faces a small yard and is of random rubble stone. No 9 has an added flat-roofed projection. No 7 has 2 replacement windows, above which is brick infill below the original stone lintels at eaves level. At the R end of No 7 is a single-storey brick projection under a gabled roof, which was a wash house in the laundry phase of the building's history. To the L of centre is a ty bach of brick under a pent roof of grouted slates, and 2 closets with boarded doors.
