Description
The former church school, now a church hall, is constructed of rubble stone and features a slate roof that overhangs at the gable ends. It has small brick stacks at both ends, with the west end stack positioned on a stone external chimney breast. The building is two-storey on the south side but built into a bank, allowing the entry to the schoolroom on the north side to be at ground level.
On the south side, there are four long first-floor windows, likely altered in the 19th century, divided into three lights by vertical thin bars, with irregular horizontal bars. The ground floor has a sequence of windows and doors—window, door, window, door, window—all boarded up, featuring cambered heads and stone voussoirs. Each end wall has a single basement window, also with stone voussoirs. The rear (north side) has a large gabled stone porch accessed from the west side, with a three-light window to the left resembling those on the front, and a 20th-century addition to the right.
Inside, there are three roof trusses with double collars. The west end displays four plaques, three of which feature the Lord's Prayer, Creed, and Commandments in Welsh, while the fourth lists the benefactors from 1777.
