Description
The Church Hall, originally a national school, was built in 1832 and later extended to the rear around the late 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with stone dressings and features an asbestos slate roof that is hipped at the ends. A reused 17th-century chimney cap is present on the chimney of the rear addition. This rectangular, single-storey building exhibits modest Tudor style details.
The front facade is symmetrical with three bays and includes a large central gabled porch that has a stone plaque inscribed with "Parochial school erected by the National School Society and W. Rundel esq., of Bellgrove, 1832." The building has deep eaves and a moulded Tudor arched doorway with a two-leaf arched door fitted with strap hinges. Flanking the doorway are two Tudor arched windows, each with two lights and four panes per light, set in chamfered stone architraves. The north end features a three-light gabled Tudor arched window with intersecting glazing bars in the head, while a similar window on the south end has been converted into a door.
Inside, the hall consists of an undivided five-bay schoolroom with contemporary scissor brace roof trusses and a simple plank dado. The Brentor school closed in 1955, as noted by Roger R. Sellman in "Devon Village Schools" published in 1967.
