Stamfordham Village Hall and Sports Pavilion
-
Description
"Our Village Hall and Sports Pavilion provide two distinct multi-purpose facilities for use by the whole village community and are also available for hire to people and organisations outside the village community seeking a venue for self-catering weddings, small conferences, meetings, exhibitions, wakes, parties, sports activities etc.....The Village Hall was originally built as the Village School in 1878 and officially opened in March 1880. It remained a centre of learning until 1974 and is still remembered by villagers who attended it as pupils. As by then it was overcrowded, a new school was built on ground to the south, commissioned by Northumberland Education Authority. The old school was taken over as a Village Hall by the Playing Field Committee in 1974 and so was born The Stamfordham Playing Field & Village Hall Charity. About four years later, the first enlargement of the Hall took place. An extension was built by opening the hall southward between the east and west wings. Then, in 1999, Parish Councillor Norman Lees, on behalf of the Committee, drew up plans, applied for, and received a grant from the National Lottery for £230,000 to refurbish and extend the Hall further. Many individual people and charitable organisations added to the funding to produce the building and facilities which exist today....." -
