The New Beaconsfield Hall and Recreation Ground forms the physical hub of our community and with the original hall has been the centre of village activities for more than 120 years.
The History of The New Beaconsfield Hall
The Primrose League was formed in 1883 by Lord Randolph Churchill. It commissioned many halls, all named after Lord Beaconsfield, around that time. Our original hall was built in 1885 by the local firm Alfred Groves. In 1923 the hall was purchased by the Parish Council. It was extended in 1962 to include a kitchen and cloakrooms and redesigned to accommodate a stage. Despite the many additions and improvements made over the years, demands upon the facilities continued to increase and become more diverse. Fourteen groups and organisations held regular meetings. and there were several other groups who rented the hall occasionally. Users ranged in age from babies to the Evergreens. The increased demands could not be met satisfactorily by the existing hall and, after careful consideration, the Parish Council decided that a new and larger hall should be constructed on the Recreation Ground in Station Road.
