Description

The Parish Hall, dated 1912, is designed by J. Hutton in the Perpendicular style. It is constructed from coursed, squared rubble and features stepped buttressing. The building has graduated slate roofs with stone copings and kneelers, and corniced stone end chimneys. An octagonal louvre is located at the ridge of the main hall. The hall has a symmetrical plan with 'aisles' on the sides and a parallel range on either side at the east end. The symmetrical west elevation includes a central porch with a door featuring linenfold panels within a surround that has a 4-centred head. The castellated west aisle has two stone-mullioned, 3-light windows on either side of the porch. The gable end of the hall showcases a large pointed window with Perpendicular tracery. The building is included for its group value with the church.
