Building record TQ 55 NW 621 - Former St John's Congregational Hall, 19 & 21 Hollybush Lane, Sevenoaks

Built in 1888 as St John's Hall, a congregational church, it was designed as single-storey open to the roof, of yellow brick side walls and an imposing red brick front with shaped gables in Mannerist style, with stone banding and window surrounds, under a steep-pitched slate roof. It has a projecting off-centre entrance with double-panelled doors under a semi-circular stone door head with pilasters supporting a scroll-topped pediment. At first floor, a large three-tiered five-light window under semi-circular moulded stone head. There is an octagonal leaded bell turret in centre ridge. Its use became redundant in the 1990s when it was converted into two semi-detached dwellings, with modest extensions added. (1)
