Description
The Parish Council Reading Room, formerly known as Aston Old School, is a former school and reading room that is now used as a store. The school was founded in 1738, and the current building dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed of cement-rendered sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is single-storey and features one bay with two windows.
An ashlar sandstone porch with a plinth and a blocked entablature surrounds a 20th-century door in an ashlar surround. The front wall is blind and has deeply-overhanging eaves leading to a wooden pediment, along with a short ashlar stack. At the rear, there is a recessed round-headed panel with a later casement window. The right side of the building has two semi-circular windows with projecting sills and later casements, while the left side is blind.
