  The  
  Memorial  
  Hall  
  (registered  
  charity  
  no.1106817)  
  is  
  the  
  village 
  hall  
  for  
  the  
  parish  
  of  
  Wellow.  
  It  
  was  
  originally  
  established  
  on  
  its  
  site 
  overlooking  
  the  
  village  
  green  
  and  
  its  
  famous  
  maypole  
  in  
  1923  
  as  
  a 
  memorial  
  to  
  the  
  men  
  of  
  the  
  village  
  who  
  had  
  been  
  killed  
  or  
  wounded 
  during    
  the    
  first    
  World    
  War.    
  Plaques    
  commemorating    
  these 
  villagers,  
  and  
  subsequently  
  those  
  men  
  and  
  women  
  who  
  likewise 
  served  
  their  
  country  
  in  
  World  
  War  
  II,  
  are  
  still  
  proudly  
  displayed 
  inside  
  the  
  hall.  
  In  
  1981  
  the  
  hall  
  was  
  completely  
  rebuilt,  
  and  
  is 
  available  
  for  
  hire  
  to  
  both  
  village  
  residents  
  and  
  those  
  from  
  outside 
  the  
  parish.  
  Many  
  Wellow  
  organisations  
  use  
  it  
  for  
  their  
  meetings  
  and 
  events.  
  Sherwood  
  Crematorium  
  is  
  less  
  than  
  a  
  mile  
  away,  
  making 
  the hall a convenient venue for functions afterwards.
  The   
  hall   
  offers   
  a   
  pleasant   
  room   
  for   
  functions,   
  meetings   
  and 
  classes.  
  It  
  has  
  a  
  sprung  
  wooden  
  floor,  
  small  
  stage  
  and  
  comfortable 
  seating   
  (new   
  in   
  2006)   
  for   
  up   
  to   
  100   
  people.   
  Wall   
  hooks   
  are 
  provided  
  to  
  aid  
  the  
  erection  
  of  
  an  
  ‘internal  
  marquee’  
  to  
  enhance 
  special events, such as wedding receptions.
  There  
  is  
  also  
  a  
  kitchen  
  equipped  
  with  
  electric  
  cooker,  
  microwave, 
  urn   
  and   
  crockery.   
  Hirers   
  can   
  also   
  have   
  the   
  use   
  of   
  100   
  place 
  settings   
  of   
  cutlery   
  if   
  required.  
  Another   
  smaller   
  room,   
  also   
  with 
  hatch facilities and sink, is ideal for additional catering purposes.
  Facilities also include a fully accessible disabled toilet, which has a 
  drop-down baby changing station as well. A portable ramp is 
  provided for use at the main entrance (where there is a single low-
  rise step).
