The Parish Magazine - July/August 2021 29 around the villages — 2 Dunsden Village Hall seeks another part-time trustee The Dunsden Village Hall Board of Trustees is seeking a new voluntary member to help manage the historic Victorian building that originally served as the village school. The hall is close to the village green and community orchard and consists of two bright halls, a garden with a terrace and a field for outdoor events. The centre is a registered charity run by two paid parttime staff under the direction of the voluntary trustees. Dunsden Village Hall has it roots in a long history of local community service which began in 1829 when Dunsden’s first school, which was part of Sonning School, opened in a cottage in Tagg Lane. It had 30 pupils. When All Saints Church, Dunsden was consecrated in 1843, it became obvious that there was a need to provide proper education facilities in the parish, hence the school building which today is used as the village hall. TWO HALLS Much of the funding was provided by the Palmer family of Holme Park, Sonning — part of the building today is called the Palmer Room which was first used as a Sunday School on 20 December 1846. By 1869 the school had grown and the main hall, was added. After a chequered history recorded in A short history of Eye & Dunsden Village Hall and which is based on Brian Law’s Eye & Dunsden Two Centuries of Change, published in 2001, the school was closed in 1977. Subsequently, Eye & Dunsden Parish Council bought it for £8,000 and refurbished the near derelict hall at a cost of £30,000. COMMUNITY A separate charitable trust was set up with the objectives of being: ‘for the use of the inhabitants within the present boundaries of the said Parish of Eye and Dunsden in the County of Oxford without distinction of political religious or other opinions including use for meetings lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants’ The community contributed generously to a fundraising campaign, many of them by buying tiles for the new roof which still bear their signatures. After much refurbishment the Parish of Eye & Dunsden proudly opened its first Village Hall in 1980. COMMITMENT In 1987 the Robert Phillimore family generously gave to the parish council a field by the hall which is used for village fetes and outdoor events. Today the hall is used regularly by clubs and groups and the entire building and grounds are popular for weddings and community functions, live music and entertainment. Anyone with commitment and enthusiasm is welcome to apply for the voluntary trustee post, especially if you have experience of: — Events promotion and management — Fundraising and grant applications — Personnel management and compliance issues — Property and asset management — Online promotion including websites and social media INFORMAL CHAT If you would like an informal chat about the roles available, how to apply for the trustees position, or for more information about Dunsden Village Hall, contact David Woodward: chairman@eyedunsden.org http://www.dunsdenvillagehall.co.uk
