Description
The Village Hall, built between 1930 and 1931, was donated by Vaughan Nash and features interior paintings by Robert Baker and Edward Payner, RCA, for the Carnegie Trust. It is constructed of rendered brick with a pantile roof and is a single-storey building with five bays. The right-hand end has a two-bay entrance hall that is narrow and lower, while the left-hand side features a low single-bay gabled projection. The right-hand bay has a similar window, and the hall contains similar windows with a buttress between them. There is a vent located in the center of the roof. Inside, the walls are entirely decorated with oil paintings, which were tempered with paraffin wax and turps, depicting scenes of village life at the time, including poachers on Castle Hill, Sunday School, folk dancing, fruit picking, the village inn (Horse and Groom), the village flower show, and cider making. Vaughan Nash played a significant role in revitalizing village life by settling ex-servicemen on land and building village halls as community centers.
