Early C16 (founded 1500, restored 1925). Originally used as Church House for parish business. Later turned into cottages and for some years after 1715 used as school. Part of building now Masonic Temple. Roughly T-shaped in plan, rubble with ashlar quoins, high-pitched stone-tiled roofs.

Long portion is two storey and on south elevation has three windows and three doors. Transverse portion single-storey with gable. Ground floor windows in long portion are three-light leaded casements with stone mullions and four-centred heads in rectangular drip-moulds (restored). First floor windows are two-light ditto, except centre window which has four lights. A weathered string at first floor window sill level is carried round gable end of transverse portion and forms rectangular dripmould over a large three-light double-transomed window (restored) with stone mullions. In gable above is an original two-light window with stone mullions and dripmould. All doorways have four-centred heads in rectangular dripmoulds. There are three two-stage buttresses with weatherings on south side of long portion and four ditto along gable end of transverse portion, where there is also a deep weather-moulded plinth course. In the west gable end is a restored three-light stone mullioned casement on each floor and a single-light in gable above. On the ground floor is also a narrow, single-light "dole" window with bars. In the eastern wall are some blocked original windows and portions of the tracery remain.

Interior: the ground floor room in the two-storey portion has original oak-timbered ceilings with heavy rough-hewn beams and close rafters. The room above has an original open stone fireplace and moulded beams which divide ceiling into panels about 6ft square. In the room forming the transverse portion, now used as Masonic Temple and at one earlier period as a Cloth Hall, is an original oak gallery. The north window has a heavy moulded oak architrave surround and the walls are divided by pilasters capped by a stone frieze-cornice. Two Tuscan columns are preserved which came from the Town Club and originally supported a pulpit from which John Wesley preached.
