Hamstead Marshall

village hall

Hamstead Marshall Village Hall was built in 1895 as a village school, converting to community use in 1933. Since then it has undergone numerous refurbishments to instal modern facilities. However the original Victorian charm has been retained. You can read about the hall’s history as a school in chapter 21 of Craven Country.

A high ceiling and a large north window give the main hall a light and airy feel. It measures 17-feet by 30-feet, and can take 40-50 people. There is also an entrance lobby with coat hooks, a fully fitted kitchen, a rear lobby with storage, and toilets with nappy-changing facilities. Heating is by wall-mounted infra-red units. All areas have disabled access. Outside there is a car park and outdoor play area.

The village hall is in Park Lane: about 200 yards north of Ash Tree Corner, about 400 yards west of the Craven Arms, and about 300 yards east of the White Hart.
