Description

The Campbell Memorial Hall and former caretaker's cottage were built between 1894 and 1897 by TM Lockwood as facilities for St Paul’s Church in Boughton. The building is constructed from dressed stone, brick, and timber framing with plaster panels, and has a grey slate roof. The hall occupies the left side of the building, while the cottage is to the right.

The hall's front wing is lower and features a double six-panel door set within a basket archway. Above this is a shaped gable with finials and a flat-roofed bay containing a four-light mullioned window with part-shutters; the upper lights are leaded. The main body of the hall rises behind, parallel to the front, with two basket-arched, leaded cross-casements within stone-banded dormer gables. The right side has a simple stone-coped gable and a close-studded gable rising from the cottage roof. A cupola belfry sits on the ridge.

The cottage has a brick lower storey with a five-light timber mullioned and transomed window, above which is a raised entrance bay with a six-panel door in a stone case. A timber bressumer rests on four tall jetty-beams, and the upper floor has close-studded framing. A canted, seven-light leaded oriel window is supported by three brackets. The front gable, boldly jettied and supported by corner brackets, displays herringbone strutting in the lower panels and close-studded apex, with bargeboards. A shaped four-flue red brick chimney is present.

The rear, south-facing elevation, overlooks the Dee and includes a full-length lean-to roof covering a verandah and outshut. Below this are three windows with mullions and two transoms servicing the hall, all within shaped dormer gables, mirroring the front. The kitchen, to the east, has three corresponding windows under stone-dressed gables.

Inside the hall, substantial exposed softwood trusses are visible, featuring a tie beam, queen posts, collar, and king post. The kitchen has a concave ceiling. A passage runs beneath the upper floor of the adjacent property to the east entrance.
