Stoke By Nayland Village Hall
Founded in 1911 as the Stoke by Nayland Institute, the village hall provides a general meeting place for residents and visitors. Over about 20 years, the hall has been steadily upgraded and refurbished and now provides a comfortable and well-appointed function room. Various regular activities take place such as bowls, a coffee morning, village lunch, bridge club and pilates. The hall is managed by an elected committee and is a registered charity.

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or hall:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let us not be too much acquainted. I would have a man enter his house through a hall filled with heroic and sacred sculptures, that he might not want the hint of tranquillity and self-poise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
