Description
The Village Hall and Church Cottage is a pair of cottages dating from the 18th century, with one remodeled as a Village Hall in 1919, as indicated by a date plaque. The buildings are constructed from coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, topped with a thatched roof and featuring brick stacks.
The cottage on the left is two storeys high and has two bays. It includes a doorway in the left bay with a wooden lintel and a door made from 18th to 19th-century materials, featuring small irregular panels from the 16th century. There is a blocked doorway with a wooden lintel in the right bay. To the right, there is a three-light window with a stop-chamfered wooden lintel, wooden mullions, and iron casements. To the left of the blocked doorway, there is a two-light window with a stop-chamfered lintel and a wooden casement. On the first floor, there are two-light windows with wooden lintels, old iron casements, and leaded panes.
The Village Hall to the right has a doorway in the left bay with a wooden lintel and a plank door. It features a large four-light window with wooden mullions and a transom. The interior has not been inspected.
