A new hall was built on the current site, for the miners of the village, funded by a levy of a penny (1d) per ton of coal. YMCA was incorporated into the hall title in return for the tables, chairs, and other equipment transferred from the old hut. YMCA members and their families were allowed to share the facilities of the new hall. The annual membership fee was half a guinea. (10/6d - 52.5p in today's currency).
In about 1965 the St John Ambulance took over the lease of the Hall, not without opposition from the few remaining ex-miners who still considered it their hall! The hall was extended during this period.
Another ten years on, there was an attempt by the local branch of the British Legion to take over the lease, but under the auspices of the Charity Commission and agreement with a tenuous connection through a 'miners welfare scheme', the hall became known as Clutton Village Hall, it was agreed that the Miners Welfare stone on the front of the building was to remain.
