Cradley's Annual Christmas Market in the Village Hall on Saturday 8th December 2001 was a great success. The Village Hall Restoration fund benefitted from the grand total of £1,000 raised.

Cradley Village Hall dates, in part, from the fifteenth century and is a II* Listed building. In the seventeenth century it housed a boy's school closely associated with the Church, and the shoolmaster lived in an upper floor of the building. The school continued until the early years of the twentieth century.

Plans for a scheme of restoration and improvements to the Hall have recently received Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent. Grants totalling some £90,000 are already available, and the outcome of an application to the Lottery Charities Board (now called the Community Fund) is awaited.

The village hall committee submitted an application to extend the rear of the building to provide toilets, add a meeting room and build a local history resource room above the kitchen.

There are six photographs of the village hall at about the turn of the last century (guess which one) which may have been taken as part of an historical article in the Times, probably dated about 1956. We are searching the Times archives for that article; if anyone has it please contact the webmaster. The photographs are included here for identification purposes - they may be subject to copyright, in which case they will be immediately removed once the owner has been identified pending further instruction from them.
