Description
The building is a village hall, originally a school, located in Low Marnham on Church Lane. It was constructed in 1823 for The Earl Brownlow and has been altered in the early 20th century. The hall is made of red brick with some blue brick detailing and features iron railings. It has a slate roof with remnants of a chimney on the right gable.
The structure has a T-plan and is a single storey with three bays. Each bay contains a window with two cusped lights, lead lozenge glazing bars, wooden frames, and a segmental blue brick arch above. Below the arch, there is a central decorative triangle made of red brick. The central window has replaced the original doorway. To the left, there is a 20th-century porch with a doorway that has a segmental blue brick arch and a wooden plank door. The right gable displays an ashlar plaque that reads "Erected by The Earl Brownlow 1823." On the rear or north wall, there is a single four-light window under a blue brick arch.
In front of the hall, there is a low red brick wall that extends 17 metres, topped with iron railings. This wall has a gateway with a matching iron gate. The wall is included for its group value only.
