Description
This is a late 19th-century vestry hall, along with a boundary wall and railing. Constructed around 1900, it is built of red brick with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, featuring a coped brick ridge stack. The architectural style is Baroque Revival.
The exterior has a plinth, polychrome banded basement, and a ground floor impost band. The main façade is three windows wide, with a shallow semicircular oriel window above the central entrance bay, inscribed “Vestry Hall.” This window has tripartite glazing bar sashes, divided by Doric columns, a frieze with keystones, and a dentilled wooden cornice. Stone steps with wrought-iron balustrades lead to a moulded round-arched doorcase with a keystone, shouldered canopy, and Ionic half-columns. The door is a panelled double door with a glazing bar fanlight, flanked by single-pane sidelights. The flanking bays feature Doric flanking pilasters and dentilled wooden pediments. The first floor has a tripartite glazing bar sash with a central double keystone and Doric pilasters. Below, a moulded round-arched three-light window with glazing bar upper lights and a double keystone is located to the left, and a semicircular glazing bar window and a triple plain sash with brick pilasters and moulded caps are located to the right. A square tower rises from the left corner, consisting of three stages and topped with a square wooden cupola with balusters, a cornice with breaks, a lead dome, and a finial. The third stage of the tower has a slit opening on two sides.
The left return, facing Burcot Road, features a gabled section with Doric pilasters, a dentilled cornice, and a closed dentilled pediment containing a round window with a keystone. First-floor windows are tripartite glazing bar sashes divided by Doric pilasters, and ground-floor windows are round-arched three-light windows with glazing bar upper lights and double keystones. A single-storey hall adjoins the building to the left, with battered buttresses and a square wooden roof ventilator with cornice. A segment-headed square porch with flanked buttresses and a round-arched doorway with keystone leads to a recessed panelled double door with a glazing bar fanlight. Five segment-headed glazing bar windows are positioned to the right, with moulded heads and keystones. The left gable has a graduated round-headed triple window. The interior has a central entrance hall with a stone dogleg staircase and a wrought-iron balustrade.
The brick boundary wall has round-cornered stone coping and rectangular piers topped with a wrought-iron railing. In front of the hall are a pair of gates flanked to the left by a single gate; a smaller pair of gates are located on the left return. This building is of group value in this setting.
