Description
Speke Hall, located about 10 metres northwest of the Church of St Andrew, is a former day and Sunday school that closed in 1949 and is now used as a village hall. It was built in 1840 by William Speke. The building is constructed from ham stone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof with a shallow pitch, characterized by stepped coped gables topped with cross-plan finials. It is a single-storey structure with six bays. The windows have pointed-arched 'Y'-tracery with two lights and labels, found in bays 2, 3, 5, and 6. The former doorway in bay 1 is now blocked. A later gabled porch projects from bay 4, which has a plain chamfered pointed arched doorway and a boarded door, along with visible traces of a 4-centre arched label above the inner door. Above the former doorway in bay 1, there is a plain stone inscribed 'Erected by William Speke Esq 1840'. The end gables have single later windows, and there is a 20th-century extension at the rear. The interior is simple, featuring a coved ceiling that exposes the collars of the roof trusses. The building holds significant group value with the Church of St Andrew.
