The Barnby Memorial Hall was built as a memorial to those lost in the First World War, partly financed by the First Baron, Lord Barnby (Francis Willey Esq) of Blyth Hall. Although plans were first drawn up (by Richardson and Lloyd of Worksop) in 1920 (and later amended) following the launch of a fundraising campaign the previous year, it wasn’t until 1927 that the building was actually completed, with the very different Art Deco frontage seen here. The original design was more in the Arts and Crafts style.
