[10] It was in 1985 that the land the Hall now stands on was purchased with the aim of building 'The Cowling Liberal Club and Institute'. It contained a reading room and library and was used for political and social gatherings. It has gone through many changes – mainly housing the 'Cowling Women's' Liberal Association'. In 1939 membership of the club was declining therefore to keep the Hall open it was offered to the Cowling Parish Council as a gift and was opened as the Cowling Village Institute, but since 1971 it has been renamed Cowling Village Hall.
