Hall Adjoining No 2 Old School Cottages

This building is a church hall that is now disused, dating from around 1840 with an extension added around 1912. It is constructed from red sandstone random rubble with quoins, and has a red brick extension topped by a steeply pitched slate roof. The original rectangular block features a central porch on the west front, while the southern addition creates one large open hall. Arched sash windows with divided tracery flank the entrance, although the right window has been largely demolished. The buttressed gabled porch is entered from the returns and has two lancet windows on the west front, which were obscured by ivy at the time of the survey in April 1984. The double plank doors lead to the interior, which consists of a single cell with a three-bay arch-braced roof. The original room is rendered, and the two-bay extension has patterned brickwork decoration. There is a blocked entrance to the adjoining No 2 Old School Cottage. The building was likely constructed as a school, later becoming a reading room in the mid-19th century and serving as a community centre until the 1970s. It is part of a group with Nos 1 and 2 Old School Cottages to the north. At the time of the survey, the building was noted to be in poor condition.
