A brief history


On April 26th 1926 a public meeting was held in Norton-in-Hales school to consider the question of whether the village should have a Village Hall. The meeting was unanimous that a hall ‘was desirable’ and after much discussion ‘steps were taken to erect a Hall’.

 

In order that work begin immediately, interest free loans were offered by Captain Radford Norcop £100, Mrs J Meadows – £50 and Mr J Meadows – £50.

 

 

Sites were viewed and their owners interviewed however nothing was decided until Captain Radford Norcop offered a site ‘on the Drayton Road near his Gardener’s Cottage’.

 

The specification was for a Hall 50 feet x 24 feet with ‘a small room at one end’. However it was then ascertained that the cost would be ‘at least £300 and no less’.

 

The Secretary, Mr J Meadows, informed the meeting that he had been over ‘to Park Hall Camp, which was being dismantled, and it was possible to get a corrugated iron hut 60 feet x 21 feet for £45.00 plus £7.00 for dismantling and £10.00 for transportation to the site’.

 

On the 6th November 1926 at 3.30pm, less than 7 months after the preliminary meeting, Norton-in-Hales Village Hall was ‘formally declared open by Lady Stamer.’ Also on the platform were ‘Captain Radford Norcop and Mrs Radford Norcop, Presidents, Sir Lovelace, Mrs & Mrs J Meadows, Mr C Chadwick and the rector, Rev. D Roberts.

 

Tea was served afterwards
and realised the sum of £3 11s 6p
