Facts about Horsell Village Hall

The first mention about plans for the hall was in the Parish Magazine of 1903.  In the same year the vicar, the Rev. Norman Pares, bought the field, much fund raising by the villagers followed, and building started in 1906.  The hall was opened on 2nd November 1907 by the Bishop of Dorking as Horsell Parish Hall.

The architect was Mr. J.B.Drower and two local builders were involved, resulting in an over spend of £500 which had to be met by an overdraft.  The final cost was £2,084-18-8d, which included fittings and furniture.

Initially the hall was managed by a group of Trustees appointed by Rev. Pares, but in 1937 responsibility passed to the Parochial Church Council.  On the 5th August 2004 the Charity Commission approved the change to Horsell Village Hall, with the responsibility in the hands of the village community.  The hall managed by 8 trustees, four elected and one appointed by Horsell WI, Horsell Residents' Association, Horsell Scouts, and Horsel Parochial Church Council.

Plans for the celebration of our Centenary year are well in hand to include all sections of our village community, young and old.
