Parish Hall

BOOKINGS for  February and March

In November 1911 the first reference is made in the Parish Magazine to the building of a Parish Hall, and plans for a bazaar to raise the necessary funds. The Hall was to be built so that services could be taken there while the Church was being extended. The bazaar was successful raising £511, a site was purchased on Kents Bank Road, and the building began in June 1912.

The property was vested in the Carlisle Diocesan Board of Finance, who act as custodian trustees, with the control and working of the Hall under the care of the Vicar and Churchwardens.

 The Hall was opened by the Bishop of Carlisle on 10 December 1912.

 

Although owned by the Church, the Hall is used regularly by the community. A Day Centre is held most days where lunch is served to elderly residents of the town. It is also hired by various organisations and is the venue for many coffee mornings. The Parish Office is housed here.

In addition, the Hall is used by the church for social events, such as the Annual Spring and Autumn Fairs. The photos below were taken at the spring fair on 12th April 2008.
