Description
The Masonic Hall is a building that consists of two bays from a three-bay house built in the late 18th century, with the third bay being part of No 41a. There is an attached hall at the back, which may also date from the 18th century but was altered in the early to mid 19th century. The house section is made of ochre-washed rubble stone with a stone tiled roof and is two stories high. It features a flush cyma-moulded two-light window above a six-panel door on the right, which was the former center bay of the house, and has a dripstone over the door. To the left, there is a projecting section with a hipped roof, which has a two-light flush cyma-moulded window on the east side above a flush-panelled door framed by an architrave and topped with a large open pedimented hood on brackets. A Masonic symbol is located under the pediment. There is a renewed two-light window to the right.
The hall section extends west from the rear north-west angle and is constructed of rubble stone with stone tiles. It has one buttress and features a moulded 19th-century Gothic two-light window with pointed lights and circular-section mouldings, along with painted glass depicting a river scene and birds. To the right, there is a clock set in a moulded circular frame. The west end has a similar 19th-century Gothic window and a two-light 18th-century flush cyma-moulded window in the apex. On the north side, there are two 18th-century two-light windows at the upper level and a central 19th-century Gothic window. The building is said to have served as a billiard room for Beechfield House.
