Description
St Michael's Hall, formerly known as the Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin, is a building that likely dates from the late 13th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century and restoration in the 19th century. It is constructed of flint and Bath stone with an old tile gabled roof and has a long rectangular plan. The building is one storey high and features a small ridge chimney with clay pots. Each corner has two-stage angled buttresses.
The south front of the hall is irregular, with two square-headed doorways that have restored stone dressings; the westernmost doorway contains an early 17th-century panelled door. Between these doorways is a lancet window with 19th-century stonework. Additionally, there is a sculptured stone depicting a bull situated between the western doorway and the window. The east and west gable ends are adorned with 19th-century, three-light plate traceried windows that have pointed heads.
Inside, the hall is divided into two rooms of unequal size, a change made when it was converted into a schoolhouse in the early 17th century. This division is marked by a brick chimney stack with two back-to-back fireplaces. The interior features a wooden barrel roof that is boarded over, with a moulded wooden cornice at the wall plate level.
