This modern village hall, which is about 100m from The Green, the centre of Quainton, was opened in October 2005, the cost being met by public subscriptions, fund raising events, and grants from numerous charities including £196,700 from the National Lottery Community Fund. This building replaced the original Memorial Hall which opened in 1924 on the same site, and which was built in remembrance to the 23 men of Quainton lost in the 1914-18 war. In the 1939-45 war, a further 3 men were lost. The hall remains a memorial to those who died in military service, and the commemoration plaques have been re-instated in the new building.
