Description: Formerly a Memorial Hall with three granite slabs inset above the door. The lower tablet recorded the First World War with the inscription in leaded lettering. Above that was a projecting shelf with the two upper tablets, the lower of which had a central clock, flanked on either side by the names of Second World War casualties in leaded lettering. The dedication for the World War 2 casualties was on the uppermost of the three tablets. The Hall was retired from use in April 2017 and sold.
