About us—and history
Stoke St Gregory Village Hall is a Registered Charity (The Williams Memorial Hall—Registered No 266528). The original hall, a converted barn, had been donated by a Miss Williams in 1931. The “new” Stoke St Gregory village hall—the Williams Hall—was opened in 2006. The project to replace the old hall was largely funded through the efforts of those in the village who passionately believed in a facility to serve and support the local community.
This continues to be the primary purpose, and the facilities are extensively used by many local groups. While fulfilling this principal role, the hall has also been extensively used as a venue for meetings, conferences, private parties and wedding receptions, by both local users and the wider community in Somerset.The objective of the Trust is, in the quaint language of the Trust Deed: The provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Stoke St Gregory without distinction of political, religious or other opinions.
