A new village hall costing more than half-a-million pounds is being built
- with a little bit of history left behind in a wall. Residents decided on a 0.75 metre long time capsule, with special seals, to go in a wall at the site of the Langar Barnstone new village hall - currently in foundation stage.
The old hall has a fascinating history dating back to the war - when the building served the country in its hour of need. Due to the risk of bombing of a number of cities during World War Two, children were evacuated to safer areas across the country - and Barnstone was one of them.Evacuees arrived from Great Yarmouth and Norfolk - and the old village hall became their school. Their teacher, Miss Hillyard, came with them.
