The Clarence Hall is a Victorian Gothic building designed by E. A. Johnson in 1890. Built from local sandstone with Bath stone dressings, it is named after the Duke of Clarence who laid the foundation stone. Pevsner notes that the building ‘adds a defiantly Victorian note, its chapel-like front with corner tower with steeply hipped roof’. It includes some extravagant detailing such as the carved stone door hood.
The building was refurbished in 2022.
