Description
The Village Hall and School House, originally known as Skipwith Old School and Old School House, is a building that served as a school and schoolmaster's house and is now used as a village hall and residence. A plaque on the building notes, "The Gift of Mrs Dorothy Wilson of York 1714." The structure features pinkish-orange brick, which has been partially whitewashed and otherwise cement rendered, topped with a pantile roof. It is two storeys high and has five first-floor windows. The entrance is off-centre, featuring a six-fielded-panel door with an overlight above it. The windows are 12 and 16-pane sashes set under cambered heads. Notable architectural details include a dentil eaves band, a swept roof, and ridge and end stacks, with an outshut to the rear under a catslide roof.
