Description
Neroche Parish Hall is a village hall that was originally built as a parish church in 1848 and became redundant in the late 20th century. Designed by P C Hardwick, it is constructed from Han stone and blue lias with slate roofs and coped verges. The building features a two-bay chancel and a four-bay nave, along with a south porch and a north-east vestry. There is a late 20th-century addition on the north side made of blue lias, which includes an inserted entrance at the north-west corner.
The west end of the hall has diagonal buttresses and two lancet windows with a quatrefoil window above. There is one lancet window to the left and two to the right of the gabled single-storey porch, which is buttressed and has a moulded pointed arch opening with double doors. The porch also features trefoil openings on its returns and stepped buttresses on the right side of the nave. The chancel has two paired lancets, while the east window is blocked. The north front is rendered, and there is a single-storey vestry along with the 20th-century extension. The interior has not been seen. The previous parish church was located about half a mile to the north-east and was demolished in 1849.
