After the second World War the school used to occupy what is now the village shop until the new one opposite was built. After that the premises became the beginnings of a village hall where many happy occasions were celebrated like coronations, jubilees, harvest festivals, weddings etc. 

In the 1950s fundraising began to build a new modern village hall which eventually was built by Warrens, local builders who also built a lot in King’s Lynn, including the Technical College. 

The ‘Memorial Hall‘ was opened in 1959 and has served the village well ever since. It is called the Memorial Hall in honour of the fallen of the village in WWII and several commemoration plaques are situated on the front of the building. Another Roll Call of Honour is situated inside the hall which was carved by Walter Warrens, father of Jack Warrens, the local builder who built the hall. 

Every Remembrance Sunday local residents gather here to pay their respects. 

Many private functions like birthdays, weddings, wakes and dances have taken place here as well as being a popular meeting place for several local clubs and organizations. 

Weightwatchers, Women’s Institute, Clenchwarton Friendship Club, the Gardening Club, Budgie Club, Woodturners, Judo Club, Yoga Club and many more have or are using the Hall. Christmas fayres have taken place here as well as harvest festivals.

At the present time a thriving pre-school is in situ Monday - Friday which has created an outdoor space for the children. 

The Memorial Hall is run by a Committee of Trustees who ensures the smooth running of the Hall. 

Recently solar panels and batteries have been installed to help with the energy costs. The Memorial Hall is also signed up to the Kirkhill Windfarm scheme.  An EV car charger has been installed which is open for use to people doing good in the community like nurses, first responders etc. It can also be used for free by anybody hiring the hall. 

The Hall has been decorated over the Christmas period 2024 and the floor refurbished during the summer of 2025. 

Clenchwarton Memorial Hall is now in the process of gaining Charity Status with the Charity Commission which will enable the Committee to apply for bigger grants.

  We hope this much loved facility will serve the local community well for many years to come and will continue to be well patronized.
