Cleasby And Stapleton Village Hall

Cleasby and Stapleton Village Hall is a building that was originally a school, constructed in 1848 for Thomas Pease. It features white brick with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. The building has a T-shaped plan and is a single storey. The facade facing the road has two bays on the left and one bay on the right, with the main range on the right projecting forward and a subsidiary range on the left that includes a porch at the angle.

The left range has a brick plinth and raised ashlar quoins on the left side. It features windows with two round-arched lights that have ashlar surrounds and mullions, and a six-panel door located in a flat-roofed ashlar porch supported by two square Tuscan columns, with antae behind and oversailing eaves. The roof of this range is hipped to the left.

The right range is taller, with an ashlar plinth and raised ashlar quoins. It has a four-light window that matches the left range, oversailing eaves, and a hipped roof. At the junction of the two roofs, there is a bell turret with a corniced ashlar base, brick sides to the opening, and a keyed round-arched ashlar top to the opening, topped with a deep ashlar cornice and a coved lead roof.

Originally built as a Friends' Day School, it later merged with the village's Robinson School and was operated as a British School. Methodists used the hall for their Sunday services until a chapel was constructed in Cleasby in 1903. The building is included for its group value.
