Group Description
Llanrhos Church Hall and Church House
A 1-storey school with higher 2-storey outer hipped N and S wings (incorporating Church House on the L) forming a shallow H-plan, of rubble stone with slate roof. Openings have freestone segmental heads and drip stones, and in the front elevation have pronounced keystones. The 3-bay central range has a segmental-pointed former doorway to the gabled central bay. The doorway is now a small-pane window. Above it is a round clock by English Clock Systems of London, under a gabled bellcote with a single bell. Windows to the R and L have 16-pane horned sashes under flat arches.
In the R-hand (N) wing is a central porch, its original battlements missing. It has a segmental-pointed entrance, benches to inner walls, and fielded-panel door. It is flanked by 12-pane hornless sash windows under cambered heads, with another similar central 1st-floor window. The L-hand (S) wing (Church House) has similar fenestration with replacement top-hung casements. Its porch retains its castellated parapet, pointed arch and benches, but the original door has been blocked and plastered over.
In the 3-window L end wall of Church House has an inserted doorway, in a pebble-dashed surround, to the R of centre, with a fielded-panel door below an overlight boarded up. Camber-headed windows are replacement top-hung casements in original openings. Church House has 2 inserted windows to the rear elevation, and added lean-to in the side wall facing the rear of the central range. The R end wall was originally double-fronted but its central doorway has been converted to a small-pane window. It is flanked by 12-pane hornless sash windows in the ground floor, and shorter 1st-floor 9-pane sashes, all under segmental heads. The N wing has an added rear lean-to with boarded door and pivoting window in the side wall.
In the rear elevation a lower 1-storey hipped-roof projection has been added to the central range. On its R is an original 16-pane hornless sash window to the school room. The corresponding L-hand window has replacement small-pane glazing and raised sill above an added lean-to.
