Description
John Bridle's Hall School House is a village hall that was formerly a school and house, dated 1871 on a tablet and possibly designed by George Devey. The hall features red brick with blue diaper patterns and irregular rubble stone in the lower walls and plinth. It has ashlar window surrounds and mullions, a tiled roof, stone coped gables, and brick chimneys with offset stacks and diagonal shafts. The building is L-shaped with extensions at the rear and is one storey high. The front facing the road includes a gabled cross wing on the left with a cross window and a small round opening above. The upper lights of the cross window have four-centred heads. The right side has a similar eaves-breaking window in the centre with a gable above, flanked by two-light windows. A square timber bell-cote with an ogee lead roof and ball finial is also present. The entry is located at the rear. Attached to the right is the house, which has a 1870s extension at the front made of red brick with a half-timbered gable on a projecting bay, and a chimney with three diagonal shafts in the angle. The rear wing has some timber framing, which is obscured by a lean-to on the west side, and is tile hung on the far gable but partly rebuilt in brick. It has a central chimney and tiled roofs, standing at one and a half storeys. The windows are irregular wooden casements, and there is a board door in the lean-to porch on the left.
