The Jubilee Hall was built in 1935, the Silver Jubilee year of King George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1936. It started small; the kitchen and toilet areas were added to either end later and, then in 2012, as part of the refurbishment, a storeroom was added to the back.
Key events in the history of the hall:
- 1934: proposal made to build a hall (March)
- 1935: Construction of hall (plans agreed by district council in March; construction in June & July; and opening on 31st July)
