Description
The Church Hall, also known as the Parish Institute for the Church of St Margaret of Antioch, was built in 1910 by an unknown architect. It is constructed of polychrome brick and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features a gabled end facing the street, which includes a three-light window with a hood-mould and banded mullions. Below this, there are five rectangular windows flanked by buttresses, and a stone pinnacle atop the gable. To the right, there is a projecting porch with a traceried over-door panel set within a moulded archway, topped with a gable; the upper floor has a pair of rectangular windows. The sides of the building have mullioned windows and low dormer windows on the roof.
Inside, notable features include an upper room with a stage at the east end, an open trussed roof, two orders of windows, a panelled ceiling, and chamfered window surrounds. This hall replaced earlier parish rooms that were destroyed in a fire in 1906. The foundation stone is inscribed with the name of the vicar, 'CH Risdale MA Vicar of St Margaret's Church 1906-1909', and the date, 22 January 1910. The building is recognized as a spirited example of its type and has significant group value with the Church of St Margaret of Antioch, which was designed by Newman & Jacques in 1892. It is contemporaneous with the church's Lady Chapel and shares some architectural features with it, together forming a notable suburban enclave of Late Victorian and Edwardian High Anglicanism.
