What is recorded here
Detached four-bay single-storey church hall, built c.1870, with a modern single-storey porch to rear. Hipped natural slate roof with blue clay ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with a brick corbel course at eaves level. Square-headed window openings with timber windows having centre pivot opening toplights and cut stone sills. Square-headed doorcase to the front elevation (north) having a timber sheeted door with plain rendered surround. Set back from road in own grounds with gravel carpark to front and the west side and bounded on the main road with an unfinished blockwork plinth wall. Located to the west of Castlepollard, adjacent to the former Church of Ireland rectory (15302002).
A simple late nineteenth-century structure having well-proportioned side elevations that creates a distinct architectural character. It retains its original form and most of its original features. This building is of particular social interest due to its history as a parish hall. Its position adjacent to the former Church of Ireland rectory suggests that it was originally built to serve the local Church of Ireland community. This building is a modest addition to the built heritage of the local area and adds visual interest along a main approach road into the village from the west.
