Mudford Village Hall

Mudford Village Hall is a village school that was built in 1848. It is constructed from cut and squared coursed Ham stone with ashlar dressings and features clay tiles, including plain tiles with alternate courses of fish scale, set between coped gables. The building is a single storey with a three-bay main unit and a two-bay lower unit alongside, both of which have flat roof porches added to each end in a 17th-century style. The main unit has three-light chamfered mullioned windows on either side of a four-light mullioned and transomed window, topped with a steep gable that has copings and bold carved kneeler stones. At the north end, there is a gabled bell turret that still houses a bell. The secondary unit to the south features a four-centre arched doorway and two two-light mullioned windows. The interior is likely to have changed little since its construction. The hall was built with the support of Henry Goodford of Chilton Cantelo and George Harbin of Newton House and ceased functioning as a school in 1948.
