During the war years a Village Hall Fund was commenced, but at the cessation of hostilities a village meeting decided to turn the fund over that of a Memorial Hall project, with the passing over of accumulated funds at this time. Both generous donations and great local fund-raising efforts saw the culmination in February of the opening of a hall, which it has taken 19 years to acquire. The Memorial Hall Committee have now handed over to a management committee, of which Mr Tarratt is chairman, soundly served by members of the old committee merged with representatives of every section of the community'.
