Church hall, still in use, built by G. Bennett Mitchell, Aberdeen, architect, in 1938. The hall was gifted to St Mary's Church by Miss Martin of St Catherine's, St Catherine Street, Banff together with her cousins, Misses Helen and Susan Martin. It is a harled rectangular church hall on a steeply sloping site, with a generous use of tooled ashlar dressings and margins. The entrance gable to High Street (west) has a wide ashlar corniced doorpiece fronting a recessed doorway below a radial fanlight. The north long six-bay return elevation to Back Path terminates as an advanced two-storey gable, with a corniced doorway below a lunette. The north elevation is lit by five mullioned and transomed, three-light timber windows that are linked by a sill course and deep eaves course. A two-storey semi-circular apse, after that of St Mary's Church (NJ66SE0387), fronts a rear two-storey east gable. Simple leaded glazing is used, and there is an apex cross and a slate roof. St Mary's Church is adjacent to the south. The hall was requisitioned in 1939 and used during the Second World War for billeting of troops, including soldiers and NCOs of the Norwegian Brigade.
