Rather grander than your average church hall, the Institute was erected in 1902 opposite the church, architect Percy Robinson. It is on two levels: the grade II listing (list entry 1256155) says the upper level is 'reputed to contain a ballroom with stage and balcony'. I can confirm that, having attended a barn dance here. See Image for a view of the other side of the building.
