The Reading Room

The Reading Room is a reading room and school dining hall, likely built in the mid-19th century with later alterations. It is constructed from hammer-dressed limestone and features a Welsh slate roof with ashlar dressings. The building has a tall single-storey central range with two bays, flanked by lower two-bay wings. The entrances to the wings consist of board doors with divided overlights, set within plain surrounds that have stepped keystones. Each outer bay of the wings contains a paired sash window in similar surrounds. The main range features taller paired sashes in plain surrounds. The building is adorned with shaped kneelers, copings, and ball finials. The wings have low parapets and concealed flat roofs, with an end stack located on the north wing.
