Hildersham Village Hall has a fascinating history, during the First World War it acted as a Surgical Ward at the First Great Eastern Army Hospital sited at Trinity College in Cambridge.  At the end of the Great War, these Army Huts were retired and the residents of Hildersham decided to buy one as a new village hall.  The 'Recreation Room' as it was initially called cost just £83 12s 0d and it was finally erected in late 1920.  The hut was paid for by the villagers themselves.
