There is another photo here Image Outbreak of the First World War delayed the building of a church hall. By 1915 no fewer than 70 young men from village had enlisted, among whom were five bell-ringers from St Oswin’s. 49 men were killed and their names appear on two oak panels beneath the west window of the church. Afterwards, however, fund-raising was resumed in earnest, and during 1922 work got under way in accordance with plans drawn up by Newcastle architects, W. Dixon & Son. The hall was built in the south-east corner of the church grounds at a cost of £1,350 and was formally opened on December 30th 1922 by the churchwarden.
