After WW1, the wooden building along with the land on which it stands was given to the village by William Needham Champion of Coney Weston House which is situated across the road from it. Because of a red triangle affixed to its front (but since removed) it was known locally as the Red Triangle Hut. During WW2, 20 Nissen huts and associated buildings of one of the domestic sites of RAF Knettishall (Site 7) adjoined it and during this time the hall was used as a cinema. Except for new windows and a porch (seen here), the latter added to the main entrance in 2006, the hall is an original WW1 building and currently used for regular village events, Parish Council and Women's Institute meetings.
