SOMERSHAM VICTORY HALL

The reason why the hall is called "Victory Hall" is that the people of Somersham decided after the end of World War 2 to start fundraising and to build a village hall as a mark of gratitude to the Allies' victory... Housing development schemes, encouragement for small light industries, improved communications and better amenities in the village rejuvenated the fundraising campaign... Another major contribution was that the fundraising committee owned land in Church Street which was sold in about 1984/5.
