The Church Hall

The Church Hall, located on Churchgate Way in Terrington St Clement, is a former school that was built in 1818, with extensions added in 1861. It was constructed through public subscription on land donated by Lord William Pierrepoint Bentinck. The building is made of red brick and features a slate roof with lateral stacks at the rear, one of which is truncated. It has a T-shaped plan with a wing at the rear facing the road, and the main front faces the churchyard.

The hall is a single-storey structure, with a slightly taller central section. The front has a seven-window arrangement, including three 3-light wooden mullion and transom windows in the center, flanked by two 8/8 sash windows on each side, all set under brick arches. On the roof above the side sections, there are square louvred lanterns topped with fleche-type roofs. Each end of the building features a doorway with a plank door; one is inscribed with 'BOYS' and the other with 'GIRLS'.

The road-facing side has two 2/2 sash windows on the lower part, with the right window displaying a plaque that reads 'NATIONAL SCHOOL AD 1861'. The central area has a 20th-century lean-to on the left, while the projecting earlier wing has a 2/2 sash window on the left side, a blocked doorway in the gable end, and a doorway with a plank door, along with two sash-type windows and two blocked openings on the right side.

This former school and schoolmaster's house, which also served as an early public dispensary, retains much of its original 1818 structure in the central section and rear wing, with minor extensions from 1861. It has seen little alteration since its construction and is part of a significant group of buildings that includes the Church of St. Clement and No. 45 Churchgate Way, which adds to its group value.
