Description
The Baptist Hall and Schoolrooms is an assembly hall and school built in 1868. It features random coursed ham stone with ashlared stones and contrasting stone dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The two-storey facade facing South Street has three bays, a deep plinth capped by a moulded cill string, rusticated quoins, a string course at the first floor, and a dentilled cornice topped by a simple parapet. The ground floor has 10-pane semi-circular headed sash windows set in architraves with keystones. The first-floor windows are arched casements with eight panes, featuring plain reveals up to the impost/string level and arched architrave/label without keystones. There is a matching three-bay return on the west side, which abuts the Church. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of the 1868 extension of the Baptist Church and provided the first Non-conformist Sunday School in Yeovil, in contrast to St John's School, which was founded in 1818.
