The Village Hall And Dunelm

The Village Hall and Dunelm is a building that originally served as a school, now functioning as a village hall and youth hostel, along with a schoolmaster's house. It was constructed between 1874 and 1875 by the architect G E Street for Sir Tatton Sykes. The structure is made of brick in English bond, featuring ashlar dressings, tile hanging, and a plain tile roof, topped with a Welsh slate bell-turret.

The building consists of a house on the left and a schoolroom on the right. It is two storeys high, with one first-floor window in the house and a single-storey schoolroom. The house has its gable end facing the street, with a 20th-century board door located under an extended gable roof, accompanied by a 4-light fixed window beneath a relieving arch to the right. There is a modern outshut to the left, and on the first floor, there is a 4-light casement window. The gable end is adorned with hung tiles, and a tall chimney rises from the ridge.

The schoolroom features two 3-light fixed windows set on a string course. To the left, there is a vestibule under a separate hipped roof, which includes a board door flanked by pointed windows. The roof of the schoolroom is steeply pitched, and it is topped with a tall bell-turret.
