Description
The Parish Room in the churchyard of the Church of St Edward is a building dating from the 14th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble, rendered, and features slate roofs. The front facing the road is mostly blank, except for a door opening with a cambered head that contains a plank door, and a broad gabled porch with a cambered head outer door opening.
On the right side, there is a narrow single-light window with a square head, featuring a foiled centre light with an ogee-shaped head and a quatrefoil sub-light in each spandrel, along with a roughly hewn label and remnants of diamond-paned leaded lights. The left side has an outshut. At the rear, there is a central exposed stack with offsets; the lower part is rendered while the upper part is brick with a freestone capping. This stack is flanked by two tall two-light windows, each with a central stone mullion in stone surrounds. Each light has a cusped head and quatrefoil sub-lights, along with labels, iron stanchions, and diamond-paned leaded lights.
