Stocksmoor Village Hall

The Stocksmoor Village Hall was opened in 1973 after years of fund raising by the villagers of Stocksmoor.  The plan to build the Hall was created in 1964 when a group from Stocksmoors then population of only around 290 decided that the Village needed a meeting place. A committee was formed and there followed nine years of fundraising through a series of events including, a car rally, walks and dances. The group also won a number of grants, including from Kirkburton Urban District Council and the ground was generously donated by Mr P G Norton. The Hall was officially opened on 8th September 1973 by Mr Norton’s daughter, Mary Staveacre.

Now some 50 years on the Hall continuers to be at the heart of the Village as a valuable resource both for our own Village and also for the wider community.
