Swallowcliffe Village Hall
The need for a village hall was realised many years
ago and the first village hall, an old Army hut from Fovant, was
erected in 1934. During the 2nd World War money was being raised
in Swallowcliffe for its replacement after the war. However, in
1949 the Army hut was accidentally burnt down. There followed a
period of some years devoted to fund raising for rebuilding. In
1957 work was started on the village hall as we know it today and
there was a grand opening. Much expense and voluntary work has gone
into maintenance since then and the village owes a debt of gratitude
to all those who have been responsible for its building and maintenance
from 1934 onwards.
To quote from our constitution...
the objects and uses of the hall,
for purposes of mental and physical
training and recreation. Social, moral
and intellectual development by means
of reading, lectures classes, recreations
and entertainment or otherwise as
may be found expedient for the benefit
of the inhabitants of Swallowcliffe
and of its immediate neighbourhood
without distinction of sex or political
and religious opinions.
