YOUR VILLAGE HALL. YOUR COMMUNITY.
Could you be part of what happens next?
It’s been a busy year at Lockerley & East Dean War Memorial Hall — from the success of The Lock Inn and other community events to our major roof and insulation project.
Now we’re looking ahead — and we’d love more people from our community to get involved.
That could mean joining the Management Committee, helping with an event or practical job, or bringing skills in finance, fundraising, publicity, social media, websites or maintenance. Or perhaps you simply have ideas and would like to help shape what happens next.
COME ALONG TO OUR AGM – Wednesday 11 November · 6.30pm
We’ll be electing our Management Committee and are particularly looking for a new Treasurer, as well as new committee members.
No obligation to volunteer — just come along, meet us and find out more.
Could you be part of the Hall’s next chapter?
🏠 Our New Roof Project
Our much-needed roof replacement and insulation project is nearing completion, helping to secure the future of our Village Hall for many years to come.
The Hall remains OPEN as usual while the final works are completed.
A huge thank you to everyone for bearing with us during the works – and to all those who have helped make this major investment in our Hall possible.

About us, at the Hall
The Lockerley and East Dean War Memorial Hall – to use its full name – was built in the early 1900s. The land was donated to the villages of Lockerley and East Dean by Frederick Dalgety. The building has been extended significantly over the years and in the late 1990s a separate wing was added to house our Children and Young People activities.
As a Memorial Hall, the building carries two plaques which commemorate events in the two world wars that took place in the 1900s. One plaque to the side of the Coffee Shop Annex, notes those of the village who fell in the first world war – aka ‘The Great War’. A simple stone paviar, set into the ground of the entrance to the hall, commemorates the Victoria Cross of Frederick Luke.
A little bit of important additional information …
A public access defibrillator is installed under the entrance porch;
instructions for its use are found on the front panel of the defibrillator. The defibrillator, whilst housed at the Hall, is under the care and maintenance of Lockerley Parish Council. For any questions or concerns please contact clerk@lockerley-pc.gov.uk
