13, Dial Place

No. 13 Dial Place is a house that has been converted into a church hall. It dates from the early 18th century, possibly incorporating some 17th-century materials, and was altered in the early 19th century. The front is made of squared stone, which has been tooled in the early 19th-century section, while the right side and rear wing are constructed from rubble. The building features 20th-century concrete tiles on the front range and 20th-century pantiles on the wing, with brick stacks. It has an L-shaped plan.

The building is two storeys high and has four bays. There is a boarded through-passage door located left of centre, set within an old chamfered surround, although the lintel above has been partly cut away; the masonry above and to the left is a result of early 19th-century rebuilding. The windows are 12-pane sash windows. The left gable is coped and has a rebuilt end stack. The right return displays reverse-stepped gable coping, which may have been re-set, and shows the outline of a lower gable with a central blocked slit.

On the rear elevation, there is a projecting single-storey wing on the left, which features two small 4-pane casements under timber lintels, a blocked opening between them, and a reverse-stepped gable. The inner return has a boarded door, four 12-pane sash windows, and several blocked openings.

The building is included for its group value. A flat-roofed pebbledashed extension to the rear left is not of interest.
