that the VILLAGE HALL in Natland is the
NATLAND and OXENHOLME
VILLAGE HALL
At the
request of the Oxenholme representative on the Village Hall committee, Myra Melville, this notice
has been prepared to remind people to make use of the hall. It might serve as a
reminder to the people of Natland, too. Myra told the committee that originally
funds were raised in Natland and Oxenholme to make a hall for both villages in
the old Reading Room on Burton
Road. Then the stables of the Vicarage became
available and the funds were spent on making them into the existing Village Hall. Does anyone know any more about the history of the founding of the Village Hall?
