The Village Hall

THE VILLAGE HALL was built in 1929 using stones from the demolished pest house at Warren Farm on the border with Croughton. This was known originally as the dog kennel. Villagers took food and left it outside for plague and small pox victims.

Later it became the cottage of a Mrs Watts and it appears in Lili at Aynhoe painted in Oct 1846. The current farmer’s grandfather remembers it as uninhabitable by 1903/4. The hall is a listed building. There were very lively dances here during the war attended by Americans based at Croughton. It has since been completely refurbished.
