Building record 7324/0/13 - The Woodford Halse Social Club, Hinton Road

Formerly the Hinton Gorse Hotel, it was constructed in the early 20th century. Locally listed building.

{1} The Woodford Social Club is a substantial building located at the centre of Hinton on the junction of the Hinton Road. Formerly the Hinton Gorse Hotel, it was constructed in the early 20th century to accommodate visitors travelling on the railway from London, primarily those attending the Grafton or Bicester and Warden Hunts. The building has a Tudor revival style design, built on an L-plan with
projecting gables at the western and eastern ends of the principal frontage. The lower storey is constructed with coursed ironstone with brick quoin detail. The upper storey has half-timber decoration; the eastern gable is overhanging with an oriel window whilst the western gable accommodates a timber porch below and a further oriel window above. The upper storey fenestration is timber and metal fixed casements. The lower storey fenestration has decorative brick surrounds; however the windows have unfortunately been replaced with uPVC windows in an
unsympathetic style.
