Comment by Connie Baker. The Village Hall was put up in 1924. This old village hall used to have dances twice or three times a year. Cecil Saunders, uncle of Maurice (Mosh used to play the piano, then after several years it was Harold Williams
Fred Adams played violin in Harold Williams' dance band with Ted Tyrell and one other member.
In the 1950's the church choir was entirely made up of men and boys, led by Reverend Steward. He was very musical and trained the choir himself. The organist was Harold Williams. Sadly Harold suffered from epilepsy, and would occasionally have a fit while playing the organ. To this day the organ has the switch to one side, so that the electricity could be turned off if he fell across the keyboard.
