Cricket Pavilion and score box, including adjacent former pillbox

This is a mid-19th century cricket pavilion and a mid-20th century score box, with an attached former pillbox, serving the North Devon Cricket Club. The pavilion likely originated as a late 18th or early 19th century barn, which was remodelled into a pavilion in 1836.

The pavilion is constructed of painted stone rubble with a thatched gable-end roof, and has small rubble-stone stacks with brick caps at either end. The building has an overall U-shaped plan, with the main long elevation facing north to south, and an additional east wing at the south end. A modern, single-storey lean-to is attached to the north end, and a later toilet block to the south; neither is included in the listing.

The west elevation, which faces the cricket ground, features an enclosed veranda with a corrugated iron roof and late 20th-century glazed doors and windows, flanked by projecting gable wings. Within the veranda, plank doors with strap hinges are visible on the inner face of each side wing, along with large 20th-century three-light transom windows. The central entrance to the pavilion is a plank door flanked by 19th-century three-light mullion windows. The north and south gable ends of the pavilion are partially obscured by the later additions. The east elevation has three 19th-century three-light windows with lead casements, separated by two large buttresses. The east wing has a panelled door and a 19th-century casement window on the north face, a further 19th-century casement on the gable end, and a truncated stone chimney stack on its south side.

Inside the main pavilion range is a club meeting room, with chimney breasts at either end. A wooden First World War Roll of Honour for members of the North Devon Cricket Club is attached to the south end, positioned above a window where part of the chimney breast has been removed. A late-20th century bar is located at the north end. The central entrance on the west side is flanked by two thick internal buttresses, and above is a king-post roof supported by five principal trusses secured by timber pegs, with some timber replacement. The projecting west wings contain changing rooms, one for the away team to the north and one for the home team to the south, both with vertical timber-plank panelling and the same roof structure as the main range. The east wing contains a modern kitchen.

To the south-west of the pavilion is a brick score box with a thatched roof and weatherboarding to the front gable. It is square in plan and has access to the rear. Adjacent to the score box is a former pillbox constructed of brick with a thick concrete roof and infilled embrasures.

The modern, single-storey lean-to at the north end of the pavilion is not of special architectural or historic interest and is excluded from the listing.
