Description
Long Load Village Hall, located on Main Road, is a former school that was converted into a village hall. It was built around 1865 using local lias stone that has been cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings. The building features bands of plain and scalloped clay tiles between stepped coped gables, which are topped with fleurs-de-lys finials, and an ornamental clay tile ridge. It is a single-storey structure with three bays, where the second bay includes a projecting porch.
The building has a plinth and pairs of lancet windows with shared labels, set within gables on the outer bays. The second bay has a matching gabled porch with side buttresses, a chamfered pointed-arched doorway with a label, and above it, a stone plaque inscribed "Church of England School." The north and south gables each have triple lancets with shared labels and trefoil gable vents above. There are various outbuildings at the rear. The interior has not been seen. This building was presumably erected for the day school founded by the vicar of Martock in 1865, which later became a National Voluntary School and closed in 1962.
