Description
The Vicarage Schoolroom, now functioning as a hall, is a building likely dating from the mid-19th century, although it may include earlier elements. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a tiled roof with stone slate verges, gabled on the left and half-hipped on the right. A brick stack is positioned left of center. The building is a single-storey, long range with two windows and a door on the left side. The windows are three-light, square-headed with 'Perpendicular' tracery and returned labels. The door, located between the windows, is two-centred and set in a square surround with a returned label, featuring a studded 19th-century plank door. There are also two blocked loops on the right side.
