Description

The Memorial Hall and Old School House is a building that originally served as a school and school house, now functioning as a memorial village hall and private residence. It dates from around the mid-19th century and was restored and converted in 1965. The structure is made of stone rubble, with some parts rebuilt and rendered on the left side of the village hall and rendered on the right side of the house. It features a steeply pitched slate roof with gable ends for the hall and a higher steeply pitched slate roof for the house, both having rendered brick chimney stacks on the gable ends.

The village hall is rectangular in shape, with an entrance located to the right of the center. Adjoining to the right is a two-room cottage, which has its entrance in a lean-to outshut porch on the right gable end. The single-storey hall has three probably 19th-century cross windows on the left, set in stone surrounds. It also includes a gabled stone rubble porch with a chamfered two-centred freestone arch, original double panelled doors, and a double 20th-century glazed door to the right in an enlarged window opening.

The house is two storeys tall with a symmetrical two-window front. The ground floor features two 19th-century two-light casements with moulded frames and stone surrounds, while the first floor has two 19th-century two-light triangular-headed casements in gabled half-dormers. There is a lean-to porch set back on the right gable end, which has a four-panelled door and a slate hipped roof. The interior has not been inspected.
