Description
The Church Rooms are an L-shaped, single-storey building with two wings. The first wing, built in 1786, is designed in a classical style and constructed of ashlar. It features six regular round-arched bays on the main inner front, with the left-hand arch serving as the doorway, which has a plain fan above it. The other arches contain windows that have altered glazing. There is an impost band, a cornice, and a blocking course, while the end of this wing has a large recessed arch flanked by pairs of blind windows. The rear of this wing has a pediment above the blocking course and was modified in 1861.
The second wing, built in 1864, is shorter and made of snecked rubble. Its main inner front has four 3-light mullion and transom windows with cusped pointed heads, and there are buttresses between the windows. The steep slate roof features tall hexagonal chimneys on each coped gable. This wing is included for its group value with the 1786 wing and the church. Historically, the rooms were formerly the Grammar School, which was founded on this site around 1620.
