The village hall stands within the
Conservation Area in the centre of the village opposite the church. It
was built in 1850 on land given by Lord Shrewsbury. The school closed
in the early 1900s and in the 1950s the building was extended with the
addition of a kitchen, internal toilets and a committee room at the
back.
From this time the
building was used as a Church Hall, but was still officially Tixall Old
School with the Rector and Churchwardens as Trustees, and Lichfield
Diocese
and Lord Shrewsbury also having possible claims to the building if it
was sold. In November 2002 a new, separate Charitable Trust was set up
with 8 Hall
Trustees: 2 trustees appointed by the Parish Council, and 2 by each
of Ingestre and
Tixall Parochial Church Councils. Two additional trustees have been
co-opted as allowed in our Trust document.
The Hall is available for
hire at £6 hour including heating
and
electricity, with consessionary rates for
non
commercial local users. There are 6 folding "Gopak" tables and about 50
chairs.
In addition the car-park is
available at 50p/vehicle/day. Short term parking, eg. during Church
services, remains free.
