覲廷書室坐落於元朗屏山文物徑，乃鄧族22世祖鄧香泉為紀念其父鄧覲廷而興建，於1870年落成，兼具教育及祭祀祖先的雙重作用。科舉制度雖於二十世紀初廢除，但覲廷書室仍負起教育族中子弟的功能。直至第二次大戰後初期，覲廷書室仍是坑尾及鄰近村落青年讀書學習的場所。覲廷書室曾於1991年進行修繕，費用由香港賽馬會捐助，書室得以回復昔日的光采。
覲廷書室是兩進式建築，中為庭院，以青磚建造，柱子為花崗石。書室內的祖龕、斗栱、屏板、壁畫、屋脊裝飾、簷板和灰塑等別具特色，為當時工匠的精湛傑作。
On the Ping Shan Heritage Trail in Yuen Long, Kun Ting Study Hall was built in 1870 by Tang Heung-chuen of the 22nd generation of the Tang Clan to commemorate his father Tang Kun-ting. The study hall provided facilities for both ancestral worship and education. Despite the abolition of imperial civil service examinations in the early 20th century, the study hall continued to provide educational facilities for the clan’s younger generations in Hang Mei Tsuen and the surrounding areas until the early post-Second World War period. The study hall was restored to its original splendour in 1991 thanks to a donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
The Study Hall is a two-hall building with a single courtyard. It is made of grey bricks and granite columns. The distinguished design of the ancestral altar, brackets, screen panels, wall paintings, ridge decorations, fascia boards and plaster mouldings inside the study hall reflect the high level of skill of the craftsmen of the period in which it was built.
