Full Description
PRN 25547
This is a building identified as of historical interest by the South Holland District Council Local List. It is a good example of this style of building of this period and survives with only a few changes to its original construction. {1}
The building is indicated as Dial Hall on the OS County Series map. It was a Free Methodist chapel which closed in 1881 when the congregation merged with the Wesleyan or Primitive Methodists. A Free Methodist chapel is recorded in Donington in 1856. In 1882 it was sold and converted to a village hall. By 1931 it had become known as Dial Hall. Since 1997 it has been used as a furniture store by a removal company but has had many functions over the years. It is built of red brick and has a gabled roof with a slate covering. The front is probably a later addition, perhaps dating to the time when it was a public hall. It has a pendimental raised gable with gault brick cornices, supported on brackets, and gault brick pilasters and window dressings. The gabled porch has a tall central two-storey bay, flanked by lower gabled one-storey bays. The bays are divided by gault brick pilasters, which have ashlar cappings, and the round-arched openings have ashlar dressings. The side elevations have four bays; three bays have tall round-arched windows but the rear portion of the building, which appears to be a later addition, is of two storeys with segmental-headed windows and doorways. {2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}
