Langham Parish Room
- is at the centre of the village of Langham, close to the coastal village of Blakeney and the Georgian market town of Holt in North Norfolk, England. It has been at the heart of village life for over 150 years and is one of the oldest parish rooms in Norfolk. The Parish Room is a much valued resource for the village and is used for a host of community activities including keep-fit and Pilates classes, art classes and the Friends of Langham coffee mornings. It is the home for the Langham Bowls Club and the meeting place for the Parish Council. It is the local polling station, and an exhibition and craft-fair centre. It is the catering centre for the Langham Street Fayre and provides toilet facilities for the Church. It is used by Langham Village School for some activities and also for various charity fund-raising events.
However time has taken its toll on the fabric of the building and its facilities and over the past two years it has been undergoing renovation in successive phases so that it can continue to meet the needs of the community in the current age. Recently, the Parish Room has been redecorated and the kitchen up-graded.
We now face the need to replace the failing main hall timber floor and must raise a fund of £20,000 for this work and to start a rolling programme to provide for future upkeep and improvements. £5,000 has already been given or pledged towards this target but we have only a few months in which to raise the remainder, with the floor replacement due to be carried out in August and September of 2012.
The purpose of this website is to publicise the work of the Langham Parish Room Management Committee and its fund-raising plans and progress.
