Description
The Village Hall, formerly a primary school, was built in 1872, as indicated by a stone plaque on the north end. It is constructed of red brick, featuring stone window dressings, black brick diapering string bands, and relieving arches. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate, characterized by a steep pitch and ornamental tile cresting. The north and south ends are adorned with terracotta cornices. The east-facing gables have small hips at the top, large bargeboards with splayed ends, and quatrefoil piercings. The building has a 'T' plan shape, with single-storey gabled porches on the east, west, and north ends. The east entrance side includes two dormer-like structures above the main windows, which contain a varying number of tall lancet openings in the stonework. Inside, the main hall features an exposed arch braced rafter roof.
