Grateley War Memorial Hall
Commemorative Plaque
The plaque sited in the wall was commissioned by the Parish Council to commemorate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee
Grateley War Memorial Hall, Station Road, Grateley SP11 8LG
The original village hall, known as “The Hut”, was built in 1920 from monies generously donated by the Boutcher family and members of the Parish. The hall was re-built on the same site in 1980 and refurbished in 1993.
The hall, at full capacity, can seat up to 80 people. There is a nearly full-width stage, with double depth curtains that enable small scale amateur productions to be produced. The fully equipped kitchen has recently been totally refurbished to a high standard.
The hall is fully wheelchair accessible, and there is a disabled toilet alongside regular toilets. The car park has space for up to 30 vehicles.
“The Parish Council is the Custodian Trustee of the Charity sealed on 1st August 1979 in the name of The Grateley War Memorial Hall, regulated by conveyance and declaration of trust dated 15th November 1921. The Notice Board does refer to it as ‘The Village Hall’ which is convenient in conversation but the Founders original objective will, hopefully, never be forgotten”.
