History - Longhirst Village Hall was built by the Lawson family in 1847, as a reading room for the village. It then became the first school building in the village and much later, it became the St. John’s Church Hall. In 2002 it was leased by the Church, for a period of 99 years, to a new secular charity, The Longhirst Parish Association, set up for the purpose of refurbishing, developing, and maintaining the Hall for the benefit of the whole community
Longhirst Village Hall is a Grade II listed building. Click the link for information about the Hall and other listed buildings in the village:
