Description
The Assembly Hall, built around 1880, was formerly a school. It is constructed of hammer dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched slate roof with gable copings. The building is single storey and seven bays long, with low gabled wings at each end of the central bay. Each wing has a tall, round arched window with glazing bars, and there are four similar windows between the wings. The two-bay gabled front is flanked by the end wings, each containing a two-light round arched window with a circle in the head.
A broad flight of stone steps leads up to two segmental headed, six-panelled double doors with a fanlight above. Above the doors are two tall, two-light round arched windows made of coloured glass, each featuring a quatrefoil in the head. The front is topped with a pediment-gable that has the inscription 'Assembly Hall' and a quatrefoil at the apex, flanked by ball and stalk finials. The two-bay ashlar front is supported by pilaster-like clasping buttresses that have pediment caps.
