Dishforth Village Hall is a historic building in Dishforth, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
Dishforth had a church in the mediaeval period, but it was entirely rebuilt in 1791, as a rectangular building, with a west porch, and an east gallery. From 1884 to 1885, it was restored and extended by James Mallinson. The church was grade II listed in 1987.[1][2] The church closed in about 2006, and was converted into a new village hall, replacing a wooden structure. The work was undertaken by Dishforth Parish Council, and included a new roof and floor, kitchen and toilets.[3]
The church is built of sandstone, with stone slates on the body of the church, and grey slate on the apse. It consists of a three-bay nave, a west porch, a north aisle, and a polygonal apse. The porch is gabled, and contains a doorway with a pointed arch, above which are two oculi, and a gabled bellcote. Enclosing the forecourt on the west and south sides is a low wall with pointed coping and a wrought iron railing. At the entrance are gates, and an overthrow with scroll decoration and a lantern bracket.[1][4]
