Description

St Swithun's Church Hall, built around 1900 in the style of Norman Shaw, features a half-timbered exterior painted in green and white. The building has Tudor-arched window lights and sits on a thick battered plinth made of rock-faced stone. At the ridge, there is a spirelet with a splayed roof outline and battered sides leading to a louvred timber belfry. The north-east porch has a hipped roof and a battered stone chimney with a set-off. To the west, there are flat-roofed committee rooms. St Swithun's Church and Church Hall together form a group.
