Description
Vestry Hall is a building from 1859 designed in a neo-Tudor style, located on the northeast side of Stone Street in Cranbrook. It features a chequered pattern of grey and red brick with stone window dressings. The roofs are plain tiled with a wooden eaves cornice. To the right, there is a three-storey octagonal tower topped with an octagonal cap and a decorative finial. The two-storey section to the left has a half-timbered gable with bargeboards above a wide octagonal oriel window on the first floor and a wide carriage entrance on the ground floor, flanked by subsidiary entrances. The front displays cross windows on the ground and first floors of the tower, with flanking single-light windows and shallower windows on the second floor, above a shallow parapet step. To the left, there is a Tudor-arched doorway leading to a room with a ribbed door.
The left return front features an angled corner with a hipped roof and a large transomed and mullioned window on the first floor, alongside a segment-headed window on the ground floor with two additional windows on the left return front. There are three large transom and mullion windows to the left, with a doorway below the central window, all flanked by very shallow buttresses that break back from the wall plane and merge into the plinth and wall under the gable, resembling flayed skin. To the left of the left return front, there is a cottage with a half-timbered return gable to the right, featuring mullioned windows on both the first and ground floors. The left side has a tile-hung jetty with two windows on the first floor and a boarded and ribbed door below.
