About the memorial: Village Hall. From the Parish 650th anniversary book- "The original Memorial Hall was a wooden structure, the main section of which was first fit for use in November 1920, financed primarily by William Fitzherbert-Brockholes. It was built, firstly to commemorate those from Claughton who lost their lives in the Great War of 1914-18 and secondly in response to a “growing desire all over the country to brighten country life by the formation of clubs and institutes”. In 1919, the feeling in Claughton was that no such suitable building existed – the school being unsuitable for social gatherings. It was the general consensus that the funds for both the furnishing and upkeep be financed by the community. This was done and some additional building work was undertaken. The Memorial Hall was officially opened in 1921. In the 1980s it was decided that the old building was considered unsafe and a decision was made to replace it. The original building was demolished and replaced with current new building, which was financed by both the local community and the County Council. The new Memorial Hall was officially opened on 8 March 1986. "
