The history and cultural significance of village halls in the County of Northumberland in England.
Northumberland’s 150+ Village Halls have for many years been the main venue for communal activities in their villages and hamlets. They are central to the shared memories of generations of local people. Many are historically significant buildings with previous lives as village schools, Reading Rooms, chapels, Mechanics Institutes, industrial buildings, Miners Institutes and WW1 barracks.
This book is the culmination of a project which worked with 30 village halls to preserve, record and share the heritage of their halls for the benefit of the rural communities which they serve. The Northumberland Village Halls Heritage project started life in 2019 thanks to funding from the National Heritage Lottery Fund given to Community Action Northumberland. Northumberland Archives were key partners, providing training to volunteers and expert advice on archiving material.
