This late 19th Century church hall was restored by the arts and crafts architect, Thomas Falconer, in the 1920s. The arts and crafts movement promoted simplicity, craftsmanship and good design, and these qualities can be seen here. Today, the hall houses a twice-weekly market and other community events. Outside, the elegant cast-iron arcade was added around 1847. Over 100 years before, in 1742, the Methodist preacher, John Wesley, preached from a butchers’ block here.
