About Corpusty & Saxthorpe Village Hall and Site
The site was purchased from Suffolk County Council in March 1998. A group of committed volunteers set about applying for grants and local fundraising to refurbish the building for use as our village hall. The villages are grateful to have received grants from the following:
21st Century Halls (Millennium Commission), Foundation for Sports and the Arts, Rural Development Commission, Norfolk Rural Community Council, Corpusty & Saxthorpe Parish Council, Garfield Weston Foundation, Lloyds TSB Foundations, Paul Bassham Charitable Settlement and Bernard Matthews
The station building: a group of enthusiasts is working on clearing the station platform and will be refurbishing the building when funds allow. The building will be sympathetically decorated with various items of memorabilia on display. It is hoped to use this building for pop-up events.
The railway station was opened in 1883 as part of the Eastern and Midlands Railway; closed in 1959. Further information
