Description
The Mitcham Parish Rooms, originally built in 1788 as Sunday and National Schools, are located in Lower Green West, Mitcham. A clock tower was added in 1892, and the building was rebuilt in the mid-19th century while reusing the 18th-century clock turret. The structure is made of yellow brick and features a low hipped slate roof.
The design is symmetrical, with a central two-storey section that has one main bay, flanked by single-storey wings with three bays each. The central entrance is corniced and features panelled double doors, flanked by arched windows. The upper windows are square-headed. A central corniced plaque reads: "Sunday School, Established 1788 National Schools, Established 1812 Rev G D Myers MA Vicar Henry Hoare Esq, Treasurer." There is also a further corniced tablet on the gable inscribed "Mitcham Sunday and National Schools."
Atop the building is a small stuccoed clock tower with rusticated quoins, a pilastered clock stage, and an open bellcote supported by Doric columns. The bellcote is topped with a lead-covered ogee cupola featuring a feathered terminal. The wings have plaster strips between the bays and segmental-headed windows, with small louvres in the roof.
