Built in 1870 as a Wesleyan Chapel, the congregation later amalgamated with the Primitive Methodists, becoming known as the Priory Methodist hall. When the chapel was declared redundant it was used for other purposes, like an overspill classroom for the ‘bottom’ School on the other side of the River. In 1964 the hall came under the control of the Trustees of the Cricklade Recreation Club to use for youth activities. In 2007, the Thames Hall was gifted to Cricklade Town Council by the Trustees and is still mainly used by the local Scout and Guide Groups.
