Description
The Village Hall, dated 1888, is a single-storey building constructed of Flemish bond red brick with white brick dressings. It features a fishscale slate roof adorned with fleur-de-lis cresting on the ridge tiles and moulded brick coping on the gable parapets, which include moulded brick kneelers. The east and west gables have chimneystacks with moulded white terracotta shafts. The north gable is topped with a wrought-iron weathervane, while the south gable has a small ball finial.
The building has a T-shaped, almost cruciform plan, with a porch at the main entrance in the northeast angle. The north front, facing the road, is asymmetrical, featuring a projecting gable-ended wing on the right. This wing includes a three-light ground floor window with a hood mould and a blocked round-headed opening above it, also with a hood mould and flanking ventilation slits. To the left are two-light windows, and there is a brick porch in the angle with a chamfered round arch on both sides, a ball finial on the corner of the parapet, and 19th-century panelled inner doors.
The left (east) gable end has two blind round-headed panels with linked hood moulds and a large fleur-de-lis in white brick above. The right (west) elevation is symmetrical and consists of three bays, with the central gabled bay projecting forward. This bay features a large blind round-headed panel with a hood mould and a large quatrefoil in white brick above. The flanking bays have two-light windows. At the centre of the plinth, there is a foundation stone inscribed 'Walsham Public Hall. This stone was laid by Richard Martineau, President of the Walsham Institute .... 1888'. The south gable end has a two-light window with margin panes and two lancets in the gable above, all set in white brick surrounds. All windows are from the 19th century and have thin moulded wooden mullions and transom bars. The interior has not been inspected.
