Description
Holyrood Hall is a former Quaker Meeting House built around 1860, with some elements possibly dating back to the 17th century. It was extended in the 1890s and later served as a meeting hall for the Plymouth Brethren and subsequently as a Catholic church hall.
The building is constructed of brick, with the front (north) elevation rendered and the western gable end hung with slate-coloured tiles. The roof is gabled on the sides and covered in slates.
It has a rectangular plan with a narrow front elevation facing the High Street, maintaining the historic burgage plot width typical of the area. The north elevation is rendered, three bays wide, and sits directly on the pavement. The central bay features a Gothic arched entrance with double doors and a rolled hood moulding with label stops. To the east of the entrance is a small arched noticeboard. Flanking the entrance are two narrow, double-height, metal-framed, Gothic arched windows with ten panes, also featuring rolled hood moldings and stops. Above the entrance, there is a small square grate with a blind Gothic arched window, again with rolled label mouldings and stops.
