OUR VILLAGE HALL REBUILDING PROJECT
From this in March to this in September!
See slide show at foot of page for progress(March 4th)

Our old village hall had served us very well for nearly 80 years but it had reached the end of its useful life. There were badly leaking flat roofs over the ancillary rooms, and mould and damp patches on the walls and floors.
It was decided to demolish the hall and replace it with one built by our own efforts. To meet the requirements of the bat survey demolition started on March 2nd 2009. Urgent fundraising is going on. Sadly our lottery bid was turned down.
Our progress with this project will be reported here.
Demolition began on March 2nd and the slideshow below gives some impression of this work.
Rebuilding began straight away. The new hall is being built of attractive stone and will have a pantiled roof. People in the village are helping with the work where possible.
The second slideshow is of the rebuilding progress.
