The Hindmarsh Hall

The Hindmarsh Hall is a village hall that was originally built as a granary in the early 18th century and underwent alterations in the mid-19th century. The street-facing side features squared stone of near-ashlar quality, while the other elevations are made of large rubble with cut dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof and the 19th-century remodelling is done in a plain 13th-century style.

The building has a gable front facing the street, with a central pair of pointed moulded doorways; the left doorway has boarded double doors, and the right has 20th-century glazing. There are small inserted windows flanking the doorways, four short lancets above, and two taller lancets in the gable, all with leaded glazing. The gable is coped and supported by moulded kneelers, featuring a corbelled-out gabled bellcote with a pointed arch and a moulded finial. Each side of the building displays two stepped buttresses, and there are two- and three-light late 19th-century windows, with the central window on the left side set in an older blocked arch. Higher up the wall, five lancets can be seen. The left side also has a stepped-and-corniced stack. The rear gable end shows two lancets positioned high in the wall. Both the right side and the rear gable end display blocked granary openings at four floor levels, with rough relieving arches above the lintels of the first-floor openings.

Historically, this is likely the earliest of the surviving granaries in Alnmouth. There is some evidence that it was converted into a corn exchange before being remodelled as an Anglican chapel in 1859. After the parish church was built in 1876, it served as a village hall.
