Description
The Lifeboat House, built in 1875 for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, is a single-storey structure made of dressed sandstone with a chamfered plinth. It features a renewed clay pantile roof with stone ridge copings. The doorway is located in the south-east gable-end and is flanked by battered angle buttresses. The entrance has early to mid-20th century boarded double doors, situated below a narrow fixed-light window that is set under a relieving arch. The barge boards are pierced with trefoils and are braced to support a mast. On the south-west face, there are two trefoil-headed fixed-light windows with battered sills, a mid-20th century casement window at the left end, and a flagpole at the right end. Inside, the roof has strutted kingpost trusses. A late 20th century lean-to extension on the north-east side is not of interest. The building is included for its historical significance.
