Description
The Church Room, along with two attached houses that were originally almshouses, dates from the late 19th century and was presented to the parish in 1926. There have been few later alterations. The building is constructed of squared granite rubble with brick and stone dressings, topped by a slate roof featuring crested ridge tiles and gable ends. It has a gable end stack to the right and an axial stack with brick shafts.
The layout consists of the church room on the left and the pair of attached houses on the right. Each house has a two-room plan, with one room at the front and one at the rear; No. 14 is on the left and No. 12 on the right. The house on the left is heated by an axial stack, while the house on the right is heated by the gable end stack. There are paired central entrances. The church room is a large, unheated space that extends to the full height of the building.
The exterior features two storeys with a nearly symmetrical front. The houses on the right have three bays set on a plinth, with a band course at the ground floor and additional band courses at the first floor at cill and impost levels. All windows are 19th-century plate-glass sashes. The ground floor has central paired 20th-century doors with cambered brick arches and keystones, flanked by three windows on each side, also with cambered brick arches and keystones. The first floor windows are arranged in a 3:2:3 pattern, featuring round brick arches and keystones. A small central gable has a circular breather with a brick border and a terracotta finial.
On the left side, the church room has a similar arrangement of windows, with cambered arches at the ground floor and round arches at the first floor, along with band courses. The paired central doors include one 19th-century four-panelled door and one plank door, with a similar four-panelled door at the left end. The small central gable here also has a matching breather and finial. Above the main front doors, there is a slate inscription tablet commemorating the presentation of the church room to the parish by Edith Annie Mills in 1926. The rear of the church room features four-pane sashes at both ground and first floor levels.
Inside, the church room includes a stage at the left end.
