Description

The Village Hall, originally a house, dates back to 1704 and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed from rubble with an artificial stone slate roof. The building was originally two storeys but is now a single storey, featuring a symmetrical facade with five bays.

In the second bay, there is a two-storey gabled porch with quoins, which includes a two-panel door set in a chamfered quoined surround. Above the door is a lintel with a recessed panel that displays the date "1704 MS" along with decorative motifs, and a slab hoodmould. The first floor has a blocked single-light window with a double-chamfered ashlar surround and a hoodmould, and there is a small ashlar oculus in the gable. The gable features shaped kneelers and moulded coping, topped with an apex finial. On the left and right sides of the porch, there are small light vents on both the ground and first floors.

The main part of the building has a boulder plinth and quoins on the right side. The first and third bays contain three-light flat-faced mullion windows, while the fourth bay has a three-light double-chamfered mullion window. To the right, there is a 20th-century addition that is not of special interest. At the rear, there is a single-storey gabled porch with a double-chamfered single-light window on the right return and three 20th-century casement windows.
