The hall is owned by Freckenham Village Hall Trustees and run by a
committee.
History of the New Village Hall
The construction of a new village hall was conceived
in 1989 and a committee was set up to achieve this aim. By the end
of 1996 the committee hoped that they had sufficient funds and
invited tenders. There was a shortfall between the amount raised
and the lowest tender but the whole of this was made up by funding
from 21st Century Halls. The selected contractor was
therefore able to start in July 1997.
Full details of the funding and construction costs can be seen in a
note prepared by the chairman
(
word or
PDF format) of this committee from its creation in 1986 to the
opening of the hall in February
1998.
