TONGHAM VILLAGE HALL
WELCOMES YOU

TONGHAM
VILLAGE HALL
AT A GLANCE

The Village Hall was built in 1897 for the benefit of the residents of Tongham to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The building was put into a charitable trust to be used for the benefit of the inhabitants of Tongham, their visitors and friends for use in engaging in physical activities or for social, moral, cultural or literary purposes.

There are two foundation stones: the first was laid by H M Chester on 25th December 1897 on behalf of subscribers and donors and the second by the vicar the Rev H M Harke on behalf of the trustees and the building committee.

It was officially opened on the 26th of May 1898 by Lord Lieutenant Viscount Middleton.

Since then the Hall has been the home of various sports, cultural and social gatherings such as the Tongham Women’s Institute, and the Tongham Olde Time Dance Club, which met at the hall for over fifty years. A Badminton club used to meet regularly for several decades, as did a Boxing Club. Now our activities include Yoga, Tai Chi, Dance, Pilates, U3A and children's parties.

Why not schedule your group’s meetings at Tongham Village Hall at an affordable price, and become part of Tongham history, too?
