The Reading Room
The Reading Room in Fox Street is owned by the Parish Council and managed by a committee comprising representatives of the various organizations who regularly meet in the Room.
The room is a thatched property and the maintenance can be high. Although hire charges significantly help to keep the room viable, fund raising events are held by the committee to boost income. This is a very important village amenity and it is hoped the local community will support all future fund raising events and projects.
