Disused Church Of St Swithun,Now Village Hall

The disused Church of St. Swithun, now serving as a village hall, was built in 1828 by Daniel Robertson. It features coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped by a stone-coped and gabled stone slate roof. The building has a single-cell plan and is designed in the Norman Revival style. The east window is roll-moulded and supported by engaged shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. The three-bay side walls include roll-moulded windows and have dentilled eaves. A flat-roofed extension was added to the north in the 1960s, and the bellcote on the west gable was also rebuilt during that decade. Above the west door, there is a similar window, and the door itself features a double roll-moulded arch with capitals carved in light relief on engaged shafts of two orders. The interior roof is obscured. This church is an early example of the Norman Revival style, and one of the capitals at the west door is carved with a Sagittarius, which may represent the builder, Bowyer.
