Features
Bottesford VC Hall The VC Hall is the local name for our Village Hall. The name came about because some of the funds used to purchase the original hall came from funds that had been raised by the Village during WW2 to send parcels to those serving in the armed forces. After the war there was money left in that fund and a decision had to be made whether it should be divided between those who had been on active service or donated to the Village Hall fund. The New Village Hall was built in 2003, mainly funded by a grant from 'Awards for All' (Lottery) and the contributions from the local people. For more information follow this link Bottesford VC Hall
