Berwick Scout Hall And Attached Dwarf Wall And Gates

Berwick Scout Hall, along with its attached dwarf wall and gates, dates from the early 18th century and early 19th century, with some alterations made in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs. Surrounding the current garden enclosure is a curved dwarf stone wall on the west, north, and east sides, topped with late 20th-century steel spearhead railings. There are pairs of chamfered stone gatepiers on both the north and west sides, and original corner piers can be seen on a later building to the south. This flat garden area is believed to have been laid out as a bowling green in the early 18th century.

To the south, there are single-storey buildings that feature two symmetrically spaced early 18th-century moulded ashlar doorways, which are now blocked, along with a small sash window to the left of the left-hand blocked door. The north side, facing the garden, has a rendered central block that was altered around 1930, which includes a hipped roof and a plain central door flanked by tripartite casements. The projecting wing to the left has a single large sash window and a 20th-century door, while the right range includes a doorway and a canted bay window with unusual moulded glazing. These buildings served as a Reading Room in the early 19th century, although they may have originally functioned as a clubhouse or pavilion for the former bowling green.
