Description

This is a church hall, originally built in 1848 as a church school and schoolmaster's house. Later additions include toilets constructed at the rear in the late 19th century and again in the 1970s. The building is constructed of stone rubble with dressings of Devonian limestone for the quoins and the relieving arch of the east window, and oolitic limestone for the surrounds of windows and doorways. A later toilet block is built of yellow brick. The main roof is covered in asbestos slates, while a lean-to has a corrugated asbestos roof. A stone chimneystack with twin shafts, chamfered outer angles, and shaped limestone tops stands on the right-hand gable; a similar stack is said to have originally stood on the central ridge. A stone base indicates the former location of a bell turret on the left-hand gable.

The building's layout comprises a school hall to the left and a two-room schoolmaster's house to the right. The hall has an entrance porch in front, and the entrance to the house is set within a lean-to against the right-hand gable. A room on the ground floor of the house was, at one point, used as an infant school. The hall is single-storeyed, while the house is two-storeyed, with a single-storeyed entrance porch. The front of the hall has no windows, only small buttresses at each end and a slightly off-centre entrance porch. The porch has a steeply gabled roof, with a two-centred arched doorway featuring a blank tablet above it; the door is made of diagonally-set planks with wrought-iron strap hinges adorned with fleurs-de-lis. A large window with a chamfered surround and straight hood-mould is in the left-hand gable wall, containing a three-light wood casement with two panes per light. Above this is a similar two-light window, but without the hood-mould. The schoolhouse, which is slightly taller and set back, is two windows wide. Ground-floor windows have chamfered surrounds and straight hood-moulds. Upper-storey windows are within steeply pitched dormer gables with two-light wood casements having pointed heads to the lights. All windows feature diamond-shaped leaded panes. The porch has a chamfered, shouldered-head doorway, and the door is of diagonally-set planks, with two windows in its right-hand side wall, both with chamfered jambs. The rear wall of the hall features a large window with chamfered jambs and a three-light mullioned-and-transomed casement with small panes. Adjacent to this is a window with chamfered jambs and a straight hood-mould, containing a three-light wood casement with two panes per light. The rear wall of the schoolmaster's house has a two-light wood casement with diamond-shaped leaded panes on the ground floor, along with matching dormer gables in the upper storey. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
