The London and Southampton Railway was first proposed in 1831 and the bill approved by Parliament in 1834 at a cost of £900,000. The section between Basingstoke and Winchester opened on 11 May 1840 – and was the final part of the London and Southampton Railway to be completed. Prior to its construction, all of the traffic between London and Southampton was carried by eight stage coaches, four wagons per week, and one barge weekly on the Basingstoke Canal!

The hall is run by a committee of villagers, for the village & all of its users. It was built in 2009, on the site of the old hall, which was in desperate need of replacement. This was thanks to various community fundraising events, and the help of a grant from our local council and a Lottery grant as well.
