The village once had an association, formed in 1944 and set out to raise enough funds to build a new hall. The old one on what is now Lovelinch Gardens was sold, along with the land, and new fields in Keedwell Road made available. The objective was to provide a “first class Village Hall and enlargement of the Recreation Ground” and by 1957 the association had secured about £10,000 for the job. By June, 1959, the foundation stone was laid and the hall officially opened on 14th November, 1959. Subsequent additions and enlargements have increased the scope of the community asset.
