In 1917 the Davies Memorial Hall was opened. This is the
present village hall and beforethis date the "Men's Club" had met
in the Church Farm. Occasional feasts like Harvest Supers were held
in the Church Farm Barn. A Bury Free Press report says the
Herringswell Boy Scouts made their first public appearance in 1917
alongside a thriving Football Quyoit and Cricket Club.
In 1946 the Herringswell Village Trust was formed. The hall was
donated to Herringswell Parishioners for social and recreational
use, the land having been swapped for the Herringswell Poors'
Fen land.
The interior of the Village Hall renovation is now
complete and it was officially opened by Richard Spring MP on
8 January 2010. It is now available for hire, details of
which can be obtained from the Village Hall website or the notice
board.
