Hall & Committee
THE VILLAGE HALL was originally the old Victorian school attended by a number of existing residents before it closed in 1951. In 1981 a few villagers formed a committee to purchase the old school and its grounds with the intention of providing a meeting place for the community.
A new kitchen was built in 2005 and a new entrance and large storeroom were added in 2008. These works were funded by local money-raising events and by grants from the district and county councils plus other charitable organisations.
The hall is managed by a committee and is well supported by both Loxhore residents and others from the locality. It is used most days by groups and clubs which offer activities to interest a wide variety of tastes. It is also available for private hire.
The Hall also owns Crocker’s Well Hydraulic Ram, Lower Loxhore. This was acquired on 12 August 1996.
