GENERAL COMMENTS

The Mission Hall is a very attractive detached former Church hall that has lapsed planning permission to convert into a most interesting detached home (planning ref: PA19/10590). At the beginning of the 20th Century Zelah had a school, Wesleyan and United Methodist Chapels and also this Mission Church, which is thought to have been built in 1883. The main church of the parish is located in a very rural position at St. Allen and possibly due to its remoteness the Mission Church was built and was used by villagers for evening services, especially in winter and for week day events, missionary and other lectures. The building has not been used for many years.

The building has attractive stone elevations underneath a natural slate roof with arched windows and there is front and rear access into the building. The single room measures approximately 11.5m x 5.8m and the height of the internal roof apex is approximately 7m. The structure seems in relatively sound order, the Cornish stone has lime cement mortar and there are London brick quoins around the door and window openings together with matching quoins at each corner of the building. The internal roof structure is a real feature with exposed roof trusses and the brick detailing around the internal windows are attractive. There is no outside space at all with the building.

LOCATION

Zelah is a small village midway between Truro and the north Cornish coast at Perranporth and just a very short distance from the main A30 road for quick commuting throughout the county. Limited local facilities include a public house within the village, whereas nearby Shortlanesend offers further facilities including a shop, post office, another public house and a thriving primary school.
