Description
The Village Hall is a building that originally served as a tithe barn, dating from the 15th century with alterations made in the 1930s. It features a timber frame with red brick infill and a plinth, topped by a plain tile hipped roof, which has a free-standing stack on the right side. The front has four wooden mullioned windows from the 1930s and a double plank doorway located towards the centre-right. To the left, there is a 1930s timber frame and red brick pentice and pavilion with open arched arcading. On the right, a single-storey outshot and extension from the 1930s also in timber frame and red brick has a plain tile roof and a projecting end stack. The building includes six wooden mullioned windows and a plank door on the centre-left. Inside, the hall consists of four aisled bays with cusped arch bracing crown posts, but it does not have a collar purlin. The roof is a 20th-century clasped purlin design.
