History

The Parish Room building was built in 1910 by the Ladies Sewing Circle on land given by Mr Bower. The building and land was then donated to the Parish of South Wingfield and the South Wingfield Parish Council are the managers of the Parish Room.

It was first renovated by the Parish Council in the 1970’s and has been used by many local groups. By the end of the 1990’s it was in dire need of repair and modernisation.

A grand scheme involving several hundreds of thousands of pounds of lottery money was devised but was later turned down by the Parish Council in favour of a more modestly sustainable plan.

With this in mind other funding was sought and after being closed down for several months the newly furbished hall has now been re-opened.

The Parish Council are pleased to invite user groups, parishioners and businesses to make use of this facility and are themselves hoping to stage some events there to bring the generations of the village together. The newly furbished hall also supports an office that is occupied by the Police to allow parishioners the opportunity to meet with local officers to get help, advice or discuss any issues with them. The Parish Council would like to extend their thanks to Veolia, Derbyshire Community Foundation Bridging the Gap and BandQ Alfreton for their financial support.
