Church Lawton Memorial Hall was built to commemorate residents that gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. It was officially opened in October 1953 by Mr R.G Lawton. After a well used community hall for many years, the wooden shaling was no longer able to meet the demands of building legislation.
From heroic fund raising and a contribution from the National Lottery Fund a new purpose built brick building opened in July 2000 to provide residents of Church Lawton and surrounding areas, a facility for organisations and groups of all ages and interests to meet.
It has since been extended with the additional of an annexe and treatment rooms.
