The hall is dated 1878 and is a Grade II Listed Building (List Reference 73308). The Oddfellows are one of the earliest and oldest Friendly Societies, the name said to have arisen form there being too few Guild 'Fellows' in the same trade to form a local Guild. The Fellows from a number of trades therefore joined together to form a local Guild of Fellows from an assortment of different trades, the 'Odd Fellows'. The group was originally modelled on Freemasonry and developed its own rites, ceremonies, robes and regalia but provided working men with mutual support and health insurance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddfellows The Oddfellows Ball held at Brough in 1888 was deliberately not held in licensed premises and included a tea-party. However, temperance wasn't always their strict policy which led to an alternative movement in this area of Cumbria, the Rechabites.
