Geocache Description:


Village Hall, Winthorpe

 

This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres.
For details and statistics about the Village Hall Series please visit Village Hall Series website.

 

Winthorpe Village Hall was built in 1874 in the nearby village of Brough. In 1885, the owner of Winthorpe Hall, Mr G. T. Pierce Duncombe, moved the building, brick by brick, to the current location in Winthorpe. It continued as a church until a time that is unclear. In 1938, the then owner of Winthorpe Hall, Mr W. J. Need, presented the by now decommissioned church to the village as a reading room. It was however, subsequently requisitioned by the army for WWII as a store. Finally, in 1951, it was refurbished and began its service as a village hall.
