The Hall is currently undergoing the second stage of a major Restoration, the need for this restoration was initially identified back in 2003, Stages 1 and 2b being completed in 2008. For more detailed information on the Hall Restoration, click ‘Restoration >>’  button. As of September 2011 the refurbishment of the toilet facilities is now complete. Briefly, the next stage of the Hall’s Restoration will involve the complete rebuilding of the cottage at the rear of the Hall to provide space for a kitchen that meets modern standards, provision of new meeting rooms, new storage areas. The cost of all these improvements is estimated to be of the order of £200,000. This cost will be meet by ‘match funding’ grants the value of which are totally dependent on the funds raised by the Hall Restoration Fund itself.  Following a Parochial Church Council Meeting on January 27th 2011, it was agreed that the Council would underwrite the present funding gap in the Restoration Fund to enable the Fund to reach the half-way mark. As this point has been reached, the Fundraising Committee is now in the process of applying for major grants of £50,000, which, if successful will enable the project to commence completion this year.   Did you know?
