Description
Nos. 1 to 3 on the north-eastern side of St. Rumbold's Lane form a group and are set slightly back from their neighbours to the south-east.
St. Rumbold's Lane is a short narrow section of street that runs north-westwards from the junction of Well Street and Church Street downhill to Nelson Street. The south-western side of the street is dominated by 1 to 3, St. Rumbold's Lane, which forms part of the original classroom range of the Nonconformist Church and Sunday school now known as the Radcliffe Centre. Positioned immediately up to the edge of the carriageway, this one and two storey classroom range was added to the Congregational church between 1876 and 1879 and is constructed of Cosgrove limestone rubble with pitched slate and tiled roofs. This picturesque range of buildings steps down St. Rumbold's Lane and is composed of a canted stone bay surmounted by a dormer, a gabled porch, stone lateral stack, large stone mullion and transom windows with cusped heads to lights and a two storey terminal cross wing. Nos. 1 to 3 on the north-eastern side of St. Rumbold's Lane form a group and are set slightly back from their neighbours to the south-east. These two storey brick buildings are probably early 20th century in date with ground floor canted bay windows, brick storey bands and an unusual arrangement of metal railings spanned between corbelled brick piers above the line of the
eaves. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Buckingham. (B1).
