Parish Hall, Forgue

The parish hall, dated 1884, is a single-story village hall with two-story wings. It is constructed of squared rubble stone with long and short sandstone dressings, which are polished to the margins. Features include a base course, a ground floor cill course, chamfered reveals, curved angles corbelled out below the eaves, and crowstepped gables topped with stone finials.

The north (entrance) elevation is asymmetrical and two bays wide. A chamfered, Tudor-arched doorway with a roll-moulded lintel and hoodmould leads into the ground floor of the left bay, and contains a two-leaf boarded timber door with strapwork hinges. A bipartite gabled window breaks the eaves on the first floor. To the right is a broad gabled bay featuring a large mullion and transomed window in the centre, composed of a tall bipartite flanked by single windows stepped down, with a stepped hoodmould. A blind vertical opening is set into the gablehead.

The west elevation is also asymmetrical, spanning five bays. Tall mullion and transomed bipartite windows run across the central three bays of the hall, capped by a shallow crenellated parapet. A flat-roofed, rectangular porch projects from the ground floor of the left bay, featuring a chamfered, Tudor-arched doorway with a roll-moulded lintel and hoodmould, stone steps leading to a two-leaf boarded timber door with strapwork hinges. The porch parapet steps up to enclose a polished pink granite plaque. A gabled bay is stepped forward to the outer right, with an addition to the ground floor and a Tudor-arched window centred in the gablehead of the first floor.

The south elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled bay to the right featuring a panelled timber door with a letterbox fanlight, and flanked to the left by stone steps ascending to a glazed and panelled timber door.

The east elevation is asymmetrical and five bays wide, again with tall mullion and transomed bipartite windows across the central three bays of the hall. A gabled bay is advanced to the right with irregular fenestration, while a gabled bay advanced to the left features a single Tudor-arched window to the centre of both the ground and first floors.

Square-pane leaded windows are found in the hall, while other areas have a variety of timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and lead ridges. Crowstepped stone skews incorporate moulded skewputts. Corniced gableheads and ridge stacks have octagonal cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted. The interior was not inspected in 2000. Situated to the north are a pair of square gatepiers with pyramidal caps, flanked by low quadrant walls surmounted by railings. Piers are at angles with coped rubble walls, and the two-leaf iron gates are finished with feur-de-lys finials.
