Description
The David Hughes Community Centre is a single-storey former school built in the Elizabethan style, with a taller three-storey addition on the right in the Georgian style. The walls are rendered, and the roofs are covered with slate. The main section features four three-light windows with ovolo mullions and transoms, dating from 1926 or later. On the left end, there is a link to a 20th-century public library, which replaced an earlier wing of the school. The three-storey, two-window addition has a gabled bellcote on the left side. It has been restored and now includes small-pane horned sash windows arranged in pairs on the right side. An offset porch on the left has a doorway with ovolo-moulded jambs and a renewed shallow triangular lintel. Above the doorway, beneath a drip mould, is an inscription tablet featuring a shield with the year '1603' and the initials 'DH' in raised letters, topped with a disc. The door itself is a replacement studded door. A parallel two-storey rear wing also has small-pane horned sash windows. To the right of the main range, there are two three-light windows with unmoulded mullions and transoms.
Inside, the main hall boasts a roof supported by Tudor arched braces and a moulded cornice. A lateral stone fireplace features a Tudor arch with shields in the spandrels that display the dates '1603' and '1926' in raised numerals. Above the fireplace is a classical-style wooden war memorial that lists names from the 1914-18 war. The interior also includes panelled wainscot, a wide segmental arch leading to the library link, and at the opposite end, a roundel in the gable that features a low-relief bust of David Hughes.
