The Village Hall (Constructed in 1912) stands by the junction of the A338 and the Grateley Road, opposite the Crown public house. The Hall provides a venue for village events and meetings and may also be hired for private functions.

The Duck Race
An occasional event, dependent on the stream flowing, has been a Duck race, held in the spring in previous years by former residents Mike and Sue Crawshaw to raise funds for the Village Hall and St Nicholas Church. The Village Hall committee has decided to take on the organisation of this lively and entertaining event, and this year 2010 we were treated to a good flow of 29cm and two good races.
