Lyneham
Village Hall
The Green
Lyneham
Lyneham Village Hall is located in the northern part
of the village prominently situated next to the green on the
main Calne Road entering the village. This building was the
former Women's Auxillary Air Force Association accommodation
and mess hall, while a more permanent residence was being
built on the airbase in the early 1940's. Now it is a busy
community facility for Lyneham residents.
Over 50 years ago the RAF's premier front line fighter warplane,
the Supermarine Spitfire, was being manufactured in requisitioned
buildings and motor car garages in nearby Swindon. It was during
the dark days of the Battle of Britain that the traditional
local industries of wool processing, farming and brewing of
fine ales yielded to accommodate the modern and unfamiliar
smells associated with the production of aircraft.
Since the turn of the millennium, the village hall has undergone
some recent extensive renovation work, the ceilings have been
replaced and lowered, a modern central heating system installed
and all round exterior fencing added for safety. It is an ideal
venue for your own community needs and can be hired at very
reasonable rates. The Hall will comfortably seat about 60 and
has a range of tables and chairs available. many local clubs
use the facilities, including after school clubs, Women's Institute
and the Lyneham & Bradenstoke Parish Council hold regular
meetings here.
