Description
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.
