Village Hall

The Cowfold Village Hall opened in 1896 to celebrate Queen Victoria's jubilee, donated to the village by Frederick Du Cane Godman. The hall was built on an old saw pit owned by Fowlers, the local builders, as part of a deal between Godman and Fowlers. As part of the deal, Fowlers occupied a site owned by Godman near the 'Hare and Hounds' pub, and they are still situated there today. [7] [8]

The Village Hall was registered as a charity in 1963. [7] [9]
