Penfold Large Hall Re-Opens
All the community facilities in the Penfold Church Hall are again available for use, now that the underpinning and structural repairs to the large hall have been completed, thanks to the generosity of the Wilson Memorial Trust and the legacy
All the community facilities in the Penfold Church Hall are again available for use, now that the underpinning and structural repairs to the large hall have been completed, thanks to the generosity of the Wilson Memorial Trust and the legacy of the late Millicent Honeywood.
The large hall was the old National School and is a Listed building. For several years it had suffered from subsidence and cracks in the walls had become more serious. Pilbeam Construction Limited started work at the end of January having been awarded the contract prepared by Simon Dyson of Hanslip Architects and Heather Munro of Hockley and Dawson, Structural Engineers. At the end of May, Pilbeam Construction completed their work which included excavation and underpinning from inside the hall, repairs to the roof timbers, a new window and external painting. Internal painting was then carried out by a small team of local volunteers, helped by Richard Bean, a Steyning decorator, and a new floor was laid by DJ Flooring. The total cost of the project was £121,500.
