about us

The Village Room began its life as a purpose-built reading room constructed in stone with a boarded roof covered in slate and with its interior beams exposed in a vaulted roof. It opened to the public in August 1890. Now the Room is a regular venue for meetings including the Parish Council, the Village Society Committee and the Wednesday Group.

The latest revelations and

renovations

The room has been fully renovated. It is now totally insulated with underfloor heating, new double glazed windows, a brand new kitchen and disabled toilet. It is now fully accessible for wheel chair users as the door threshold has been lowered to street level and all sections of room are at same level. A store room has also been created from the old toilet area. With  grants from The National Lottery Community Fund we have installed solar panels and batteries to reduce running costs.
