Appraisal
An interesting and attractive building, which is almost vernacular in appearance. It retains its original form and character and most of its original fabric. This structure has had a number of community uses during its lifetime which are of historical and social interest. This building occupies a prominent position in the centre of the village, adjacent to the attractive entrance to the former Church of Ireland church.
