Description

The former meeting room adjacent to the chancel of St. James Church is a building dating from 1872, designed by G.E. Street. It is constructed of rock-faced stone and features a slate roof. The structure consists of two small rooms that are open to the roof. On the façade, there are two doors with ogee-arched heads and hoodmoulds, positioned on either side of a two-light cusped window. A small corner buttress supports the building, and it has coped gables with kneelers. There is a ridge chimney stack, and each gable has a two-light window, one featuring tracery and the other with cusped heads. A tablet is located in the left gable. This building is included for its group value with the church.
