| With evidence of Anglo Saxon
occupation, seen in the architecture of the Parish Church
dedicated to St Lucy, the village is recorded in the Domesday
Book and has several black and white timber framed houses,
one of which, Cruck Cottage, is reputedly the oldest in
England. |

The first Village Hall building was of
timber construction and was destroyed by fire when a wedding
breakfast had been prepared and left unattended. A new
hall was erected in 1928 with funds from the Sundorne
Estate and as a memorial to those in the village who were
killed in the 1914 – 18 war.
The hall has now been completely refurbished to meet current
regulations and standards with help from the National
Lottery Community Fund. It now provides a high quality
venue for a wide range of uses at most competitive rates
and is well used by the community on a weekly basis for
a range of activities and events. |
An Entertainment
Licence has been granted by Shrewsbury & Atcham
Borough Council for up to 150 people extending to 11.30pm.
The Village Hall has a licensed bar that can be booked
for functions.
The accommodation is on one floor and has disabled
access from our car park.
