The Turville Memorial Hall, was built in 1895 in memory of Sir Francis Fortescue-Turville of Bosworth Hall. It served as the village assembly room, library and reading room in its early years. At the outbreak of World War II the Village Hall was commandeered by the army and used as the mess for NCO’s and other ranks of the 4th Hussars and later, the Royal Worcesters, who were billeted in unoccupied houses around the village.
The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel next door was officially opened on May 5th 1912. The village has always had a strong Non-Conformist tradition and the chapel replaced the original Methodist place of worship in the village
