Village halls in the Tees Valley

Egglescliffe Parish Hall

Our parish hall opened as a school in 1839. It serves a wide range of community groups currently such as Girlguiding, WI, gardening club and playgroup. In the future, we hope the community continues to use the parish hall and support with the ongoing renovation plans.

Ingleby Barwick Community Hall

Ingleby Barwick Community Hall was established as a charity by Trust Deed on 4th August 1993. It was constructed as a purpose built community hall and transferred to Ingleby Barwick Town Council (formerly Parish Council) under the conditions of the Trust Deed and is managed by a Management Committee consisting of members of the Town Council, Elected Members and User Group Representatives. The hall is hired out to groups for many different recreational and leisure activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of Ingleby Barwick and is open seven days a week, playing a very important role in the community. However, because of the coronavirus pandemic the hall has been closed for almost a year since March 2020 but is looking forward to re-opening when restrictions are lifted.

Kirklevington and CastleLeavington Memorial Village Hall

After the end of the Second World War, there was a growing realisation that the parish required some form of community hall and to this end, various groups set about fund raising. A host of different events took place to raise enough money and a parcel of land was purchased from the Hearse Trust for £25 in 1949. In 1955, the hall’s management committee, a charitable trust, was drawn up and formally registered. This body was responsible for raising money for construction. After the war, building materials were in short supply and the initial structure was made from poor quality wood with a corrugated asbestos roof.

Essentially this early hall comprised two main buildings. The larger, on the north side, adjacent to Forest Lane, was the major hall, having a stage, toilets and a small annex on its north side. To the south of the main hall was a smaller building which served as a kitchen and a general purpose facility. The present car park was surfaced with cinders and grass. Heating, where there was any, was by wall mounted electric fires. It was all very basic but functional, needing ever increasing repairs over the passing years.

In the 1970s the population of the village had grown. A new school was built and at the same time, the need for a totally new, brick built hall became evident. There was not enough money available to construct the entire structure as seen today, but instead the work took place in two phases. In order to have continuous use of the main wooden hall, Phase One involved the demolition of the kitchen on the south side and the construction of the present “small hall”, kitchen, bar area, entrance hall and toilets. Two points of access were cut into the old wooden hall to integrate it temporarily with the start of this new build. Gas had yet to reach Kirklevington, so heating continued to be by means of wall mounted, electrical fires.

Stainton Memorial Hall

Built in 1844, Stainton Memorial Hall is the hub of the village and we can’t wait to see everyone again once we’re allowed to re-open following lockdown.

Wolviston Womens Institute Hall

We are situated in a quiet village in the northern area of the Tees Valley. We are a small hall used primarily for WI members but we hire our facilities out to the community at large. We have very close links with the Parish Council, St Peter’s Church and Wolviston Village Community Centre.
