Stage in the main hall, ideal for drama groups and musicians. Great for private and corporate functions and meetings. The large hall of Chilham Village Hall, originally a 15th-century tithe barn, dates back to the era of Agincourt and the Wars of the Roses. Constructed with a timber frame and red brick infill, it boasts a photogenic charm. The kitchen area and smaller halls were later additions, b

uilt in the 1930s. This historic building was once part of the Chilham Castle estate, possibly erected by the Roos family, who held the castle until 1461. Thomas Roos, associated with the House of Lancaster during the Wars of the Roses, had his property confiscated by the Crown. To truly appreciate the age of the large hall at Chilham Village Hall, consider these significant events from the 15th century:

1415 Battle of Agincourt
1455–1485 Wars of the Roses
1492 Columbus lands in the Americas

Little is known about the hall until 1919, when the rebuilt Chilham Castle became the property of Sir Edmund Davis. A generous benefactor, Davis expanded and converted the hall to its current layout. On July 20, 1950, ownership of the castle estate, including the park and the village hall, was transferred from Somerset Struben de Chair to the first trustees, Edwin George Colthup and Theodore Llewellyn Fennell, a physician in Chilham for 37 years. Today, Chilham Village Hall remains a symbol of the enduring spirit of community and togetherness that characterizes this historic Kentish village.
