The Village Hall

The Village Hall is a building constructed around 1912 by Sir Aston Webb, located in Whiteley Village. It is made of grey brick set on a red brick plinth, featuring red brick banding and dressings. The roof is plain tiled and hipped over the side ranges. At the center, there is a tile-hung belfry topped with an ogee lead dome and a weathervane finial. The building has a gable front facing the street and is one storey tall with an attic in the gable.

The base of the gable is adorned with tiled coving, and the ends have tiled, rusticated quoins. The gable features red brick panelling with four casement windows and a large round window in the center. On the ground floor, there are four windows, with two on either side of central part-glazed doors that have wood traceried fanlights set in deep quoined reveals. There are single-storey, single-bay wings on either side of the hall. The return fronts are six bays deep, showcasing mullioned and transomed stone-dressed windows in deep reveals, with projecting hipped roof bays at the rear ends.

Whiteley Village was established by William Whiteley for thrifty elderly individuals and was designed on an octagonal plan by Frank Atkinson, utilizing prominent architects of the time.
