Shedfield Village Hall (historically known as Shedfield Reading Room)


In 1869 the Shedfield Reading Room was built at the instigation of Frederick Townsend Esq of The Lodge and Captain Travers of The Grange. It had a library and a billiard table and was regularly used for village gatherings such as concerts.

On 24th June 1880 a trust was set up to take care of the premises which were to be used as “Reading and Recreation Rooms for the Parish of Shedfield”.

During the years between 1950 and 1989 the Reading Room was hired by the County Education Authority for the use of the parish school during the day.

Today the Reading Room is the Village Hall and is still used for all the activities which have gone on in the past. Although there is no longer a permanent library the local authority mobile library parks nearby once a fortnight. The Recreation Rooms are still used for billiards etc and have been managed by the Shedfield Social Club since its formation in the 1960's. Other facilities include a kitchen and a stage with piano
