Description
All Saints Parish Hall is a building constructed with snecked rubble masonry and features a steep Roman-tile roof, overhanging eaves, and blue brick chimney stacks. It has small-pane glazing throughout. The main northeast front includes an open-fronted Italianate loggia, a central entrance, and a round stair tower to the right. Behind the loggia is a foyer flanked by service rooms, all covered by a single cross roof that connects to the main roof just below the apex, featuring a gallery window. The roof over the loggia is supported by simple raking timber brackets that spring from stone corbels. The tower has a conical plain-tiled roof with swept overhanging eaves and a tall lead finial. The windows are framed with freestone and have diamond leaded glazing. There is a deep round arched entrance set within a broad and splayed rere-arch, which also spans a square-headed doorway to the tower; the doors are boarded with a small-pane overlight. A ramped abutment is located at the left end of the loggia, including a round arched gateway.
The southeast side starts with the asymmetrical gable end of the entrance and foyer section, featuring a lunette type tripartite window with a distinctive dropped sill for the central light and diamond panes at the top. Both sides have flat-roofed clerestories to the main roof, which sweeps down low in a dog-legged manner. There are camber-headed casement windows on the side walls, with several grouped together on the northwest side behind the tower. Boarded double doors with overlights are located beside lean-tos, and there are small cross ranges at the southwest end with semicircular lunette windows in the gable ends. The dog-leg profile of the roof is particularly pronounced on the broad southwest end, which features a large circular window with grid pattern glazing bars and voussoirs, as well as cellar doors stepped down to the center and camber-headed doorways at either end.
Inside, the hall has complex jointing to the roof trusses, which include coupled principals and braces, along with a modern false ceiling at collar level. The gallery features pierced balusters and a cambered proscenium arch. The boarded doors have decorative ledging that creates ogee patterns.
