Ewenny Community Village Hall

The Ewenny Community Village Hall is a rectangular schoolroom dating from the 18th century, with an attached former schoolmaster's house wing on its left side. The building is constructed of thin, layered rubble stone in buff and brown hues, with ashlar stone detailing. It features moulded gables, Westmorland slates on a high-pitched hall roof, ridge cresting, and a circular chimney stem corbelled from the gable end. Other notable exterior features include eaves corbels, horizontal bands, a battered plinth, and two flights of stone steps leading to a large entrance archway. This archway has two orders on both the inner and outer faces, decorated with nailhead ornament, where the mouldings recede at the impost level. The arch is constructed of narrow rubble voussoirs alternating with ashlar blocks, and features diagonal stepped buttresses. The porch interior contains two boarded doors with strapwork hinges, set within chamfered, shouldered openings. The inlaid floor of tiles and pebble panels displays the Turbervill arms. The porch ceiling is panelled and supported by corbels. Four cusped windows are located centrally on the front elevation, with similar voussoirs and a colonette separating the central pair. The left gable end has a cinquefoil oculus above a second porch entry, now blocked, flanked by pointed arched horned sash windows. The building extends forward with a gabled dormer, and chimneys with circular stems; the left chimney is attached to a larger, stepped-coping stack. The ground floor features square-headed, hollow-chamfered windows. Similar windows are present on the rear elevation. The right gable end has a shouldered doorway, two lancet windows, and the Turbervill Arms displayed in a quatrefoil on a corbelled chimney. Associated outbuildings are constructed of stone and yellow brick with hipped roofs covered in small slate tiles.

Inside the schoolroom, a boarded wagon roof is supported by flying braces, and incorporates open trefoil panels to the crenellated wall head beams. A planked dado runs along the lower walls. A stone chimney piece in the west wall has an arched opening for the flue and a stepped hood on corbels. The front window range internally is a six-bay arcade with ogee, keeled shafts on shallow bases, and ringed capitals with stiff leaf and billet moulding above. Some of the glazing was replaced following fire damage, but some original leading patterns remain in the side wing.
