The church itself is not in the village, but one and a quarter miles away, in rural countryside. It seems there used to be a settlement around it long ago, called Kenelmstowe, but that has disappeared, apart from a farmhouse. In the modern village of Romsley, the church has this hall, which is used for various functions both by the church, and other organisations. What is particularly interesting about the building, is that it started life as a National School in the middle of the 19th century. In 1925/26 it was remodelled as a mission room, but later became the church hall.
