Description

Digby Memorial Church Hall, built in 1910, is a two-storey building located on the north-east side of Digby Road. It features a slate gabled roof and is constructed of ashlar stone. The shaped gable facing the road has a three-window bay front. The central window on the first floor is a tall, narrow canted bay with three lights, supported by corbelling and topped with a high-pitched roof that has a finial. This window includes transoms and mullions, with each light featuring a trefoil head. Flanking this central bay are two two-light, two-tier windows, each with upper lights that have three-centred heads and carved spandrels.

On the ground floor, there is a statue set in a niche at the center, with coupled two-light windows in two tiers on either side, each with dripmoulds above. To the left, there is a porch with a gable. The segmental-headed doorway has the motto "Deo non fortuna" carved above it, and the inscription "Digby Memorial 1910 Church Hall" is located in the apex of the gable.
