Description

Walmsley Community Hall is a building that was originally a school, now serving as a community centre. It is dated 1839 on a plaque located on the first floor. The structure is made of stone with plain ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. It has two storeys with an attic and is composed of three bays. There is a string course above the ground floor and a coped gable with kneelers and a top pinnacle. The windows on the ground floor are double-chamfered-mullioned with round-headed lights and label moulds, including a four-light window and another window that is now blocked by an open-fronted shed. On the first floor, there are two-light windows with leaded glazing. The attic features two windows of two lights and a top slit with a label mould. The entrance has a Tudor head, a hoodmould, and a panelled door. The left side of the building has a four-bay return with a one-storey wing that has been partly altered, and there are gabled half-dormers on the end two bays. The rear of the building is similar to the front, with a gabled porch, diagonal buttresses, and an attic that has a blind roundel along with a 20th-century inserted window on the ground floor.
