History
In 1924 an agreement was made between Henry George Walne of
Kettleburgh Hall to rent a piece of his land to Reverend R Davies
of Brandeston, John Goddard of Kettleburgh (farmer) and Herbert
Hill of Kettleburgh (Innkeeper).
Henry George Walne agreed to rent the piece of waste land,
"thirty yards long and eleven yards wide", for the term of thirty
years. The rent was to be one shilling a year payable yearly on the
sixth day of April. The tenants were to erect a room to be known as
"The Kettleburgh Parish Room" and this was to be used as a reading
room or for concerts and dancing or "any other kind of amusement or
parochial purposes".
Today this same building is known as Kettleburgh Village Hall
and used for many purposes, including scout meetings, quiz nights,
harvest suppers, the annual produce show, film evenings and various
village get-togethers.
If you would like to hire the hall, I'm afraid it costs a little
more than one shilling a year, but is still very
reasonable!
