About Hoveringham Village Hall
The Village Hall consists of two rooms, The
Minkley room was built in 1845 as schoolrooms
and Church room. The Main Hall built in 1907
for £978 raised by public subscription for use as
a Mens Institute.
In 2009, over £400,000 was spent extending,
modernising and refurbishing the two rooms
with money raised by villagers over the
preceding decade. This was added to by a grant
of £250,000 from The Big Lottery and significant
contributions from Wren Landfill and Trinity
College, Cambridge. The Hall is now an
efficiently insulated building with under floor
heating. The 1845 Minkley room has been
restored to its original magnificent appearance.
Modern kitchen, shower and toilet facilities have
been installed. The Village Hall serves both as a
centre of the community and as the village flood
refuge.
