Place & story

The school of 1877

Newmarket’s former national school is dated 1877. Red sandstone walls contrast with dressed limestone at its corners, doors and windows. Its blocks meet in a T-shaped plan, with smaller gabled portions tucked into the angle. The architectural inventory records a date plaque and wrought-iron finials. It also describes the former arrangement of tall sash windows, with a broad central window flanked by narrower ones in each gable. [2]
