The former National School now church hall is also grade II listed, dating again from 1852, by Roderick Williams of Aberystwyth, and is a rare survivor of this type of building. The estimate for the school and house was £540. The newspaper report gave Mr Jones, churchwarden as architect and secretary but the plans are signed by Williams. The original interior was a single room with benches or forms tiered on back wall facing the window wall and fireplace.
