What is recorded here

Detached two-bay single-storey parochial hall, built in 1902, with rear return and extension to front. Set in grounds of church. Pitched slate roof with corbelled red brick chimneystack and terracotta pots. Ruled-and-lined render to walls with roughcast render to rear return and extension. Timber casement windows with stone sills. Moulded red brick door surrounds to original building with replacement doors. Lettering in arch over front door with date.
The simple form of this hall is enlivened by its ornate window surrounds and interesting corbelled chimneystack. Though these are fine examples of the technical prowess of local craftsmen, they are also in keeping with the unpretentious character of this building. As part of an interesting group of related religious buildings, this structure is of social significance to the community. Plaque over door reads: 'Young Men's Institute 1902 founded by the Rev. J.D.E. Newcombe B.D.'
