Description
This is an earlier 19th century session house, a single-story structure with a rectangular plan and a single bay. Constructed of tooled, coursed pink sandstone rubble, it has droved dressings, an eaves course, long and short quoins, and chamfered window reveals.
The west-facing principal elevation is symmetrical, featuring a four-centred-arched doorway in the centre with a two-leaf timber door. The south and east elevations are blank. The north elevation is also symmetrical, with two pointed-arched windows containing diamond-paned glass.
The roof is covered in grey slate with coped stone skews, and there is a cement-faced, coped gablehead stack on the east side, topped with a circular can.
The session house sits adjacent to the gates of Carrington Church (listed separately) and is believed to have been built around 1838, coinciding with alterations to the church by Thomas Brown, according to Colin McWilliam. References to the building appear on the first edition Ordnance Survey maps of 1852 and the second edition of 1892.
