Village Hall (not listed)
Thought to have been a stable block associated with the former Rectory that was located immediately behind it (as shown on the tithe map and confirmed as owned by the church in the documents that go with it), its conversion to a village hall is said to have been carried out by Lord Hambleden early in the 20th century. Its positive contribution towards the character of the village is considerable in view of its length and its prominent siting next to the green. Being single storey, its long thatched roof is especially dominant, but noteworthy too are its exposed granite walls and the series of painted timber windows with mullions and transoms dividing each into six, multi-paned lights. An admirable feature of the upper lights is that they are hinged at the bottom and open inwards in an agreeably inconspicuous manner.
