Description

Holy Trinity Church Hall, originally a church school, features a balanced cruciform design with single-storey schoolrooms on either side of a two-storey gabled teacher's house. The west wing was extended in a similar style in 1856, and around 1900, the porch on the west side of the house was replaced by a projecting gabled structure.

The building is constructed from coursed blue lias stone, topped with imitation slate roofs, and has a brick rebuilt centre ridge stack on the house, which originally had paired stone stacks. The windows are small paned, three-light timber-mullion windows with cut stone voussoirs and moulded slate hoodmoulds, with two in each wing, one in the upper floor of the house gable, and one with a transom and top-lights on the ground floor of the house; however, the house windows have been replaced. The house retains one of the original pair of hipped lean-to Tudor-arched porches on the east side, while the west side features a low gabled parallel range that partly blocks the first schoolroom windows, along with a similar Tudor-arched doorway. The north end has a pair of casement windows. The west schoolroom wing has been extended with two additional windows in a matching style from 1856, along with larger four-light timber windows at the west end.

The rear of the house has been rendered and altered, but the original schoolrooms maintain their unaltered rear windows. The rear of the 1856 addition includes a 20th-century brick parallel rear range.
