Village Hall

The Village Hall in Kelmscott was built in 1934, designed by Ernest Gimson, and features regularly coursed limestone rubble with alternating angle quoins and a stone slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and is one storey high, with an attic in the projecting gabled range on the right.

The main range has a square-headed double door made of planks located to the far left, which is sheltered by a flat-pedimented stone hood supported by brackets. To the center and right of the door, there are three-light mullion windows with dripstones. The projecting range on the right includes a four-light mullion window with a dripstone and a narrow round-headed rectangular slit opening at the apex.

On the left side, there is a similar doorway to the main range, positioned at an angle, featuring a chamfered lintel with straight-cut stops and a flat stone hood supported by a stone corner post. A stone bench is attached to the right of this doorway. Above the bench, there is a four-light mullion window with a dripstone, and all windows are fitted with leaded lights.

At the front gable, there is a stone inscribed with "WH/1834-1934." The right side of the building has a battered external lateral stack with two attached and rebated shafts, along with an integral end stack to the right of the main range.

A public appeal for funds to construct the village hall was initiated in 1928, and the building was officially opened by George Bernard Shaw in 1934.
