Description

St John's Church Hall is a church hall and former vicarage or schoolhouse built in 1855 by William White. It is constructed from Plymouth limestone rubble with limestone dressings and features very steep dry slate roofs. The roof of the hall was extended in the late 20th century and sweeps low at the front. There is a truncated rubble stack over the original front wall, flanked by two steep gabled dormers with 20th-century glazing, and an additional stack over the left-hand corner. The schoolhouse has two gabled dormers that break the eaves and large rendered rubble end stacks. The overall structure forms an L-shape, with a two-storey schoolhouse that has a first floor partly in the roof space, and a single-storey schoolroom with a converted attic. The hall features a projecting gable on the left with a trefoil-headed lancet and a three-light window on the right-hand return gable end. The schoolhouse has a symmetrical two-window front with a central lean-to porch that includes an arched wooden doorway; the windows are late 20th-century replacements in the original openings. The building is included for its group value with the Church of St John.
