Lustleigh: The Gospel Hall
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 9 May 2007
Despite not being a thatched cottage this little building is as much part of the fabric of the Lustleigh Conservation Area as any other. However I can find nothing of the history of the building other than what has been written in Wikipedia, which I quote with all due acknowledgement verbatim: "The Gospel Hall sits below the village green, next to the Primrose Cottage tea rooms, on the Wreyland path. Its history dates back to the 1900s when worship was conducted in the homes of adherents. Sometime in the early 20th century, a Mrs LA Whiteside made the building available to the congregation. This continued until 1971, when the congregation purchased the building from the landlord, and it is still active today."
