Thorpe Satchville Village Hall

History

Over the last few years the Thorpe Satchville Village Hall Management Committee have been actively raising funds in order to repair and upgrade the Village Hall, which was entrusted to the village by a benefactor in 1927. The past twenty years or so found the hall slowly deteriorating for lack of funds and in 1999 a new committee was formed which has undertaken the task of renewing the fabric of the building.
