Description
The Clink is a church house that was later used as a school room and parish lock-up, and is now utilized as parish rooms. It dates from around the 18th century, although it likely has earlier origins. The building was restored by the parish in 1986. It is constructed of stone rubble and features a rag slate roof with gable ends, along with some possibly early crested ridge tiles. There is a brick stack on the east gable end.
The building has an overall rectangular one-room plan and backs onto the north side of the churchyard. The front elevation is two storeys high, while the rear is single storey due to the higher ground level. The ground floor entrance is located on the front elevation facing the road. An external stair on the east gable end provides access to the first floor from both the churchyard at the rear and the road at the front. The exterior features a two-storey, one-window front elevation, with the stone rubble and granite external stair leading up to the door in the first floor of the left-hand (east) gable end. The interior is not accessible.
