Parish Cottage Parish Hall

Parish Cottage and Parish Hall is a former industrial school and mistress's house, now serving as a parish hall and residence. It was built by the daughters of S.C. Whitbread to train girls for domestic service and opened in 1862. The building features mottled red brick with yellow brick and ashlar dressings, topped with slate roofs.

The house is a two-storey structure with attics, presenting an asymmetrical block. A single-storey schoolroom block projects to the west. The schoolroom has two 2-light casements with diamond leading on the left, and a five-bay verandah supported by wood on the right, with the left bay enclosed as a wood porch that has French windows. All openings in the schoolroom have 4-centred arched heads containing two pointed arches with diamond leading.

The house has a left-hand recessed bay with a doorway featuring a bracketed gabled wood hood with a finial, and a single-light casement above. A projecting gable includes a canted bay on the ground floor, a 2-light casement with a hood mould and decorative stops on the first floor, and a small almond-shaped window in the attic. The right-hand recessed block has one single-light casement per floor and a lean-to block within the angle that has a similar casement. The openings in the house have more angular 4-centred arched heads compared to those in the schoolroom. The building is topped with paired and multiple chimney stacks, all set diagonally and featuring moulded cornices.
