The inscription in the stonework high in the gable says that the place was 'Erected in Commemoration of the Coronation of King Edward VII', which would date it to sometime around 1901 or very soon thereafter. It's no longer operating as the library, and appears to be for sale or in the throes of conversion to alternative use.
