Description
Victoria Hall is a village hall built in 1898 by T.E. Collcutt, with an extension added around the 1970s. The building is constructed of red brick and features timber-framed gables with pebbledash panels. It has a clay plain tile roof with both gabled and hipped ends, and a tall axial stack with a moulded brick shaft, although the fleche on the ridge is missing.
The hall has a large rectangular plan with narrow aisles on the north and south sides, and a stage at the west end. The exterior is single storey, with a large roof that extends down to low eaves on the north and south sides. The south side has five bays, supported by brick buttresses with timber brackets above, and features continuous wooden-mullion windows with leaded panes under the eaves. There are larger brick buttresses on the right flanking a doorway with a four-centred arch, spandrels, a plank door, and ornate hinges. A similar door is located on the left leading to a hipped roof porch with timber framing under the eaves, and a tall stack above, along with a large timber-framed dormer to the right in the main roof.
To the left, there is a lower roof with a hipped end and a timber-framed gable that includes a mullion-transom window with leaded panes. The east gable end features a large eight-light mullion-transom window with a depressed two-centred arch and leaded panes, along with a large brick porch from the 1970s below, which is not of special interest. The rear (north) side has a large gabled dormer, a timber-framed gable on the right, and a four-centred arch doorway on the left between brick buttresses. The centre of the north elevation is obscured by the circa 1970s single-storey range, which is also not of special interest.
Inside, the large five-bay hall has timber arcades to the north and south with elliptical arches, an open roof that is ceiled between arched timber trusses, and a moulded proscenium arch leading to the stage at the west end.
