Waltham on the Wolds village hall. Rear view of the new village hall built in 2004 to replace an old and dilapidated structure on the opposite side of the road. This was the result of a village wide consultation and the building provides a venue for a wide range of activities to be accommodated. The house beyond is a new build with major solid oak detail on both the front and rear elevations.
