Description
The Strode Room, originally known as Almshouses, is a parish room dated 1630. It features coursed rubble-stone walls and a slate roof with stone gable copings. There is a 20th-century chimney at the west gable. The building is single-storey with four windows, which include three-light and two-light hollow-chamfered stone mullions, all topped with a continuous label that returns. The doorway has a renewed Tudor-arch head and moulded jambs. On the south wall, to the left of the center, there is a stone tablet framed with midillion, inscribed with the words: "GODS: HOVSE SIT HONDS TRINO DEO ANNO DOM 1630."
