Former Church Institute, including low stone enclosing walls

This is a large hall, built in a loose Perpendicular style, dating from the early 20th century. It was constructed as a Church Institute, and is accompanied by low stone enclosing walls. The building is roughly cruciform, with a high ground floor hall above a basement, and a two-storey cross-wing attached to the upper eastern end. It is built of uncoursed, squared and rock-faced limestone blocks, with yellow sandstone dressings. The roof is slate, with slab copings to the gables, kneelered gable parapets and a stone gable cross to the west.

A prominent feature is an octagonal wooden cupola with a leaded ogee roof and an iron weathervane at the top, situated where the main block meets the north and south wings. The main block has four bays, with projecting porches to the west gable and the right-hand bay of the south side, the latter positioned at the angle with the south wing. The west porch is accessed by two flights of railed and parapetted stone steps and has a coped stepped gable with two-stage clasping buttresses. It features a pointed and chamfered entrance arch and vertical chamfered windows to the returns, both at the main and basement levels. Tall arched lights flank the porch, and a circular oculus is located in the gable apex with a label returned to the sides.

The south porch slightly projects in front of the south wing gable and has a gable above the entrance with sloping copings returned and stepped up to the left. There’s a moulded Tudor-arched entrance, a two-light cusped-headed overlight above, a recessed boarded door with decorative ironwork, and an arched recess with heraldic carving in the gable. Three-light mullioned and transomed leaded windows are present on the four-bay sides; the south-facing side of the porch obscures the lower lights. Alternate single and double-light windows are set within the basement, below a plain stringcourse at lintel level. Large tripartite windows, featuring three main lights and flanking single lights, are found in the north and south wings, all transmullioned as before. In the gable apex of the south wing, an arched recess is inscribed: 'Erected AD 1915.'

The two-storey east block features a gabled design with a three-light transmullioned ground-floor window and a five-light mullioned first-floor window to the south side. The central light of the first-floor window is raised and cusped. An angled entrance is extruded between this block and the south wing, with a small square bay to the right. This entrance has a gabled form with a moulded basket arch and recessed doors, similar to the south porch. A plain parapet and a hipped roof extrusion are present on the one-window bay, with simple shouldered-arched lights to each face. A chimney and entrance are located at the rear of the upper cross wing.

The interior of the building was not inspected at the time of survey.
