[1] The building was commissioned by the Rector of St Nicholas' Church, the Reverend Stephen Clissold, who saw the need for a public hall in the middle of Wrentham.

The central bay was flanked by full height square turrets, which slightly projected forward and were fenestrated by lancet windows.

[6] Improvements, which included a new projecting clock on the face of the building, were initiated by Sir Alfred Sherlock Gooch, 9th baronet, whose seat was at Benacre Hall, to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897.

[7] During the First World War the building was requisitioned for the use of military units in the area which included the 2/7th (Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire) Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers which was based in Wrentham from November 1916 to May 1917.

[9] The building continued to serve as a venue for community events for much of the 20th century but, by the early 1980s, it was becoming increasingly dilapidated and in need of costly repairs.
