The Old Village Hall

This is a 17th-century house, which was later used as a village hall. It was altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The house is timber-framed on the upper floor, with exposed timbers and plastered panels, and red brick on the ground floor, all topped by a steep roof of old red tiles. It is a one-and-a-half-storey building situated below road level, facing south, with three bays, the eastern bay being narrower with three windows instead of four. There is a large external chimney on the west gable and a smaller, later chimney on the east gable. The front has two gabled dormers at the eaves, with projecting gable triangles sheltering the windows and shaped brackets at the ends. It has three-light, lattice-leaded casement windows. On the brick ground floor are two four-light, lattice-leaded casements with metal opening lights and external shutters. The timber framing on the front has convex curved tension braces.
