Description

Budworth Hall is a public hall built around 1886 by Fothergill Watson of Nottingham, with a tower added around 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee. The hall was given to the town by the Budworth family of Greensted Hall. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain red tiled roof. The building has a complex plan, with the rear section rising to three storeys and featuring half-hipped roofs, acroterian to the ridge, and projecting eaves.

To the left, there is a two-storey forward crosswing with a half-hipped roof and matching details to the rear roof. This section includes a four-light oriel window supported by timber brackets on the first floor and a matching bay window on the ground floor. A half-glazed door is located under a red tiled porch supported by brackets, along with a rear extension porch. A plaque stating "Erected 1886" is positioned above the bay window. The first floor features a batten design and various decorative bands that continue throughout the building.

The tower on the right has two stages and a hipped red tile roof, adorned with a decorative cast iron ridge and weathervane. Each face of the tower has a clock below the projecting eaves, with a three-light window beneath the clock facing Bansons Lane and two lights facing High Street, both with segmental arches and heads. A hipped red tiled porch, supported by four curved brackets, leads to double boarded doors with segmental heads and decorative iron hinges. The clock faces are set in square recesses with moulded brick infill, and there are various moulded bands throughout the structure.

At the center front, there is a stone name plaque with a commemorative plaque below it. An outshot red tiled roof connects the crosswing and tower. To the right of the tower, set back, is a small turret topped with an octagonal spire and finial, featuring moulded brick "Tudor" windows on the first floor and two small lights on the ground floor. The building is also adorned with four red brick chimney stacks that have pilaster strips, moulded caps, and bases.
