Description
The Post Delivery Office, located 100 meters northeast of the Church of St John, was built in 1893 and originally served as a church room. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings, featuring fish scale slate roofs adorned with decorative ridge tiles, coped gables, and finials. The building has a central octagonal wooden bell turret with steeply gabled openings and a spire topped with a weather vane.
The structure is single storey plus basement and has a cruciform plan with three bays. The central gable is flanked by buttresses and features a moulded flat-headed doorway with a drip mould, leading to a pointed arched double door with enriched spandrels. On either side of the doorway, there is a single lancet window. Above the door, a triple mosaic panel displays a central clock flanked by figures and an inscription, divided by stone mullions under a drip mould, commemorating its use as a hospital for Belgian forces during World War I. Above this, there is a slit ventilator.
To the right, a square porch with a diagonal buttress and crenellated parapet contains a small flat-headed doorway, with a blind quatrefoil above it. The right return features a 2-light flat-headed mullioned window, while the left side has a triple lancet under a flat head. The gables include a graduated triple lancet on the left and a quadruple lancet on the right. The rear of the building has a central projection with a graduated quadruple lancet. The basement has a 20th-century door flanked by a 2-light mullioned window and a single window. The interior has not been inspected.
