Description

The Village Hall, originally a malt kiln with additional buildings, is likely from the 19th century but may include earlier structures. It has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of slobbered rubble with quoins and features graduated slate roofs. It is two storeys high and has four bays. The village hall is accessed at first floor level via a ramp on the east elevation. The west elevation still shows several original openings, including four segment-headed doors on the left side (the malt kiln end), a blocked door and window in the center, and a blocked window and door on the right. There is a central segment-headed loading door, which is now blocked, with a small window to its right. An adjoining former cart shed is located on the east elevation.

Inside, the malt kiln retains a relatively intact twin furnace door and a ground floor circulatory passage at the north end of the building. At the south end, there is a trough and pump. The first floor, which was originally used for storage, is supported by massive, strapped beams.
