Description
St John's Church Hall, also known as The Old School, is a former school and school house that has been converted into a church hall. It was built in 1844 and has undergone some 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed from coursed dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with coped gables and kneelers. It has a chamfered plinth and flushed ashlar quoins.
The south-west street front includes an added gable porch with a double chamfered entrance arch that has a hood mould. Above this porch is a gabled turret with set-offs and a central pointed arch. On either side of the turret are single 4-light mullion windows, which now contain 20th-century wooden casements. To the south-east, there is a 3-light pointed arch window with reticulated tracery, beyond which is a lower school room that features a 4-light graduated window within a pointed arch on the north-east side.
To the north-west, there is another 3-light pointed arch window with reticulated tracery, and above it is a gabled bellcove with a cusped bell-opening. The north side of the building contains a parish room with a gabled north-west front, featuring a pointed arched doorway with a chamfered surround and hood mould, as well as a 3-light graduated window within a pointed arch above it.
At the rear, the former school-house range has a single gable stack and both a single and a triple ridge stack, all of which are octagonal with crenellated tops. The two-storey section includes an off-centre doorway with an overlight, a 2-light mullion window to the left, and to the right, a former 2-light mullion window that has been replaced with a 20th-century casement, followed by a triangular headed doorway. Above this section is another 2-light mullion window and a through-eaves gabled dormer with a 2-light mullion window. The single-storey range to the north-east features a 3-light mullion window, which now has a 20th-century casement.
