The Village Hall is located on Windsor Lane in the centre of the village
adjacent to the lower end of Little Kingshill Combined School.
The closest side street is Meadow Cottages. For satnav the postcode is HP16 0DZ.
If driving from Amersham on the A413 turn left onto Deep Mill Lane, just before the railway bridge,
then left onto Windsor Lane. Pass Watchet Lane on the left and the Hall is approximately 800m on the left.
If driving from Great Missenden, turn right off London Road at Nag’s Head, go under the railway
bridge and follow Windsor Lane to the left uphill for 1km. Pass Deep Mill Lane and then Watchet
Lane, both on the left, and the Hall is 800m ahead, also on the left.
If driving from Great Kingshill, follow Heath End Road, and pass Hare Lane on the left.
Continue along Windsor Lane, passing the Common on the left and the School on the right.
The Hall gateway is the next on the right just before a slight bend in the road.
The Village Hall was built in 1957 by the County Council
to replace the old Memorial Hall, a First World War army hut, erected on land gifted
for the purpose in Meadow Cottages behind the present Nursery School. The hut was
purchased with money from a Thanksgiving Fund raised by the village in memory of
the Little Kingshill men who had fallen in or survived the First World War. The site
on which the present Village Hall and the First School now stand was given to the County
Council by the Trustees of the Memorial Hall, with a substantial donation for the building
work from the Thanksgiving Fund. Chiltern District Council also contributed to the
construction of the Hall, which is unique in that it is the only village hall in the
county owned and maintained by Bucks County Council (BCC). The Trust Deed (called Licence)
between BCC and the Trustees grants the village use of the Hall on a 99-year lease,
due to expire in 2056.
All members of the Management Committee are volunteers,
who work as a team to keep the Hall in good condition for the benefit of hirers and
as an attractive facility for the village. Currently the Officers of the Committee are:
Chairman: Alan Bristow
Minutes Secretary: Wendy James
Treasurer: Richard Chantler
Bookings: Caroline Ormesher

The Hall is owned by Buckinghamshire County Council and is used Monday to Friday during term time
by Little Kingshill Combined School. The Hall is held in Trust by the Trustees of the Memorial Community
Centre, Charity no. 300292, and managed by the voluntary Little Kingshill Village Hall Management Committee.
All proceeds go to the provision and improvement of facilities in the Hall, which is maintained to a high
standard for the benefit of all who use it.
