Church Of England Institute

The Church of England Institute, built in 1913 for the Bray family of Langford Hill, is designed in the Arts and Crafts, free Tudor style. Constructed from squared stone with freestone and granite dressings, it features a slate roof. The building is situated on a corner site and includes a large entrance porch. It has steeply-pitched roofs running north/south and west/east, with gables to the north and a hipped roof to the east.

The grand two-storey gabled corner porch has moulded granite coping and rusticated granite kneelers topped with balls. It features a moulded four-centre arched doorway with a studded door and cover strips, set under a square-headed hoodmould with label stops. Above the doorway is an inscription panel reading 'The Bray Church of England Institute', with a three-light granite mullioned window above it. A coat of arms is displayed above the window in a niche formed by pilasters that support a cornice, with volutes on either side. The gable also contains a date panel.

The flanking wings on either side of the porch have three square-headed, transomed stone mullioned windows, featuring leaded fixed lights and leaded casements. The tall central window rises into a gabled dormer, which has kneelers and moulded coping. The left wing is longer and includes buttresses with weatherings between the windows. The north gable end has timber in the upper part supported by corbels. Tall stone lateral chimneys are topped with slates that peak over the flues. Granite posts with chains are strung between each side of the porch.
