Description

Crewe Green Church Hall, originally built as a school in 1882, is now used as a church hall. The building is constructed of red brick and features a red tile roof in the Jacobean style. It is a single-storey structure with four bays, including an east-facing gable. There is a lean-to porch entrance on the west side.

The front gable has a central six-board filled panel door with a semi-circular head, set in a stone ovolo moulded frame with a keystone. This door is flanked by rectangular stone-dressed stained glass windows that have weathered sill bands. Above the door, there is an oak bracket and a corbel-supported segmental pediment featuring carved arms in the tympanum. A clock is set in a circular stone frame with four keystones at the apex of the gable, which also has a carved bargeboard. The gable is topped with a diagonally set fleche that has an ogee tiled roof and a weather vane.

The three west bays are symmetrical around the second, which slightly projects and features a large stone-dressed panel covered with glass. This panel is stone-carved and depicts "Time rewarding industry and punishing sloth." Above it is a tablet inscribed with "What shall we render unto the Lord," topped by a brick scroll pediment that contains emblems of the Crewe Estate. The bay ends in a stack-like structure with octagonal piers, flanking a sundial that bears the inscription "use well thy time" along with the date.

The central west bay is flanked by diaper work and has double mullion stone windows with a high transom. Above the eaves, there are timber-framed gabled dormers with cove-jettied apexes. The building features a moulded cast iron eaves gutter on a boxed fascia, a single pilaster-panelled stack, and a crested ridge. The west lean-to maintains the Jacobean style, with pilaster-mullion three-light windows flanking a pair of three-panel, board-filled doors set in a timber-framed gabled porch. The ends of the lean-to are also timber framed.
