Throughout 2010 Hunsdon Village Hall underwent a programme of major
rebuild, with a new annexe and outdoor landscaping being constructed at
the rear of the existing, listed, structure to provide much improved and
extended facilities. Subsequently, in 2011, the existing kitchen was
re-equipped and accommodated an internet cafe and village museum.
The new facilities were officially opened on 23 October 2011by Mr
Christopher Pickard, nephew of Grp Cpt Charles "Pick" Pickard who led
Operation Jericho from Hunsdon to breach the walls of Amiens gaol.
