Description
The Village Hall is a former malthouse built in 1777 by Charles Hall, using materials from Higher Melcombe, Melcombe Horsey. It is now used as a village hall, having been converted for this purpose around 1948. The building features walls made of flint with stone banding and a chamfered plinth. It has a slate roof with coped gables and is a single-storey structure divided into two sections.
The left section includes five 20th-century casement windows with lead lights set in stone surrounds that have projecting keystones. The right section has a raised centre section of the roof and features a gabled porch that is accessed by stone steps. The porch contains a round-arched doorway with a stone surround, a panelled door, and a fanlight above. To the left of the porch is one window similar to those in the left section, while to the right are two similar windows and one that has been altered to serve as a doorway.
At the rear, there is a wing with stone walls that are raised in brick and a slate roof. There are signs of a demolished building at the right end of this wing. The left gable wall has a circular window at a high level within a stone surround, and below this are two 2-light stone mullioned windows with lead lights.
