Village News & Events

Village Hall repairs

For decades, the Aston Ingham Village Hall has stood at the heart of community life, a place where memories have been made and friendships forged. From regular community events and birthday celebrations to quiz nights, music performances, and parish meetings, it has been a constant presence — welcoming, reliable, and filled with warmth. The hall has never just been a building; it has been the stage on which everyday life has unfolded, helping to bind together the people of the village. Yet, like many well-loved spaces, time has taken its toll. Years of constant use and limited funding have started to become evident, and we have recently discovered water damage to some of the floor joists and the piles that support them underneath the hall. Although there is no immediate risk, the problems need to be addressed before they become serious. Never ones to shy away from a challenge, the Village Hall Committee has brought in a carpenter and a structural engineer, who have given them a quotation for remedial work. The team has now begun planning how to raise the substantial amount of money required. The Village Hall committee has some financial reserves that they will commit to the project, and some local organisations that use the hall have also pledged to support. The Village Hall will be hosting several fundraising events over the next few months. Whether you are a regular at the Village Hall or not, we would greatly appreciate your support at these events to help raise the necessary funds. We will, of course, keep you all updated through The Chimes as we progress towards our target. Though the fabric of the hall needs attention, its spirit remains undiminished, and this work will enable it to continue serving future generations.
