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:
“A village seems thus, where its able-bodied men are all plowing the ocean together, as a common field. In North Truro the women and girls may sit at their doors, and see where their husbands and brothers are harvesting their mackerel fifteen or twenty miles off, on the sea, with hundreds of white harvest wagons, just as in the country the farmers’ wives sometimes see their husbands working in a distant hillside field. But the sound of no dinner-horn can reach the fisher’s ear.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Sweet death, small son, our instrument
Of immortality,
Your cries and hungers document
Our bodily decay.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
