Description
St Paul's Church Hall is located on the corner of Whitley Woodhouse Lane and was designed by architect Henry Woodyer in 1859. It was used for services before the opening of Christ Church and was formerly a school and schoolhouse. The building is in the Gothic style, constructed from flint with Bath stone ashlar dressings and features a tiled roof. It has an 'L' plan layout and is one and two storeys high, with five asymmetrically placed gables on the front.
To the left, there is a schoolroom in a gabled break, which includes one-light moulded lancets with transoms. Adjacent to the right is a stepped chimney stack with datestones. Next to this is a wide gabled dormer that is half-hipped and has four cusped lancets. Centered to the right are a pair of gables with half-timbering above paired trefoil-headed windows. The right-hand gable extends to full height and features trefoil-headed lancets, with three on the first floor and four on the ground floor.
The entrance is located to the right of center, featuring a pointed arch in a thickened wall, and there is a tiled gabled projecting porch facing Basingstoke Road. The building has two chimneys and dated rainwater heads.
