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!
