Centre range has moulded eaves cornice carried round sides of the wings; latter have moulded barge-boards resting on the ends of the eaves cornice, forming a sort of open triangular pediment. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORY: the Devon Record Office has John Hayward's bill of 1874 for: `Attending Mr Fisher on the site of intended workmen's Hall; advising about the buildings, and supplying ground plan, elevation, and working drawings for them'. The bill, for »6 6s was paid on 7 December 1876. In that month a billiard table was bought from George Wright & Co of London, complete with cues, balls, etc., for 32 guineas. White's Directory of Devon, 1878, describes the building as `HEATHCOAT HALL`, AND `WORKING MEN'S INSTITUTION'...built in 1876 by Sir John H Amory-Heathcoat, Bart., M.P., at a cost of »1,000... It has a large hall, capable of seating 600 persons, and used for lectures, concerts, &c.; reading, billiard, smoke rooms; and a circulating library of upwards of 400 volumes'. F.J. Snell, Chronicles of Twyford, 1892 (p.356) calls it the Heathcoat Memorial Hall, opened 23rd May 1876, and says it was `expressly for the benefit of the factory employees, whose institute prior to this date had been in a large upper room extending over a row of cottages in Quick's Court'.
