Description

The Village Hall is a village hall built in 1903, designed by 'Mr Tucas'. It features red brick and tile hanging on the first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building consists of a single-storey main hall, with two-storey and attic service ends. It has a hipped roof with a moulded modillion eaves cornice, two hipped dormers, and a central octagonal tile-hung wooden cupola with a tented lead roof. There is a stack projecting at the left end and an outshot. The front facade includes three large central mullioned and transomed windows, with sidelights above, and two-light casements on either side at ground level, along with a boarded door to the center right. The main entry is on the left side, featuring double two-panel doors with a large flat hood supported by iron ties, and three-light casements on either side. At the rear, there is a large two-storey bay that projects deeply, with a fully glazed canted end. Inside, the original full-height hall with half-timbered partitions has been partly ceiled in and altered. The hall was built by the local firm Davis and Leaney, known for their high-quality early 20th-century work in and around Goudhurst.
