Description
The Village Hall at Folla Rule, dated 1904, is a single-storey building with a taller arm featuring an attic, designed in a shallow L-plan with gabled roofs. It is notable for its corrugated-iron construction and distinctive 'Central European' carvings, along with applied mock timber framing. The building has a stone base course or plinth and carved timber architraves around its openings, with some lintels serving as hoodmoulds, and features bargeboarding.
The principal elevation consists of five bays, with a projecting gabled porch on the outer left and a projecting bay on the outer right. The porch includes a wide doorway with multi-panelled two-leaf doors and a mock cross beam above, which is carved with the date. There is a narrow window on the return of the porch. The central section has three two-light windows, while the gabled bay on the right has a panelled door at ground level and an attic window above, along with a window on the return.
The rear elevation also has five bays, with four bays in the centre and right featuring windows. The outer left bay is gabled, containing a door and window at ground level and an attic window above.
The gabled end elevation includes a window. The timber windows are mostly designed with smaller eight- or ten-pane upper sections and two-pane lower sections, as well as some with four-pane upper sections and plate glass lower sections, along with later plate glass and bipartite windows. The roof is made of painted red corrugated iron, featuring a small brick stack and a conical metal ventilator at the main ridge, with a second ventilator missing. Some timber rafters are exposed where bargeboarding is absent.
Inside, the hall showcases good quality timber work, including a sprung floor and timber lining. The interior includes a stage, kitchen, cloakroom, toilets, and a library, along with attic rooms used for storing stage scenery.
