Description
The Parish Hall, formerly a school, was built in 1848 and is located on Main Street in Yaxley. It is constructed from yellow gault brick with ashlar dressings and features roofs made of Collyweston stone slates, adorned with patterned ridge tiles. The building is one storey high and has a symmetrical design with seven bays. There are entrances in open porches on both the right and left sides of a large central buttress that supports a gabled bell cote. The hall has a chamfered plinth, with strings connecting the window sills and labels above the two- and three-light windows that have pointed heads. The two central windows on either side are topped with stepped gable parapets, each featuring two plain plaques. A triangular panel on the buttress bears the inscription 'AD MDICCCXIVIII'.
