A TRADITIONAL village hall in North Somerset has benefited from a 10,000 grant, courtesy of the Big Lottery Fund.

Barrow Gurney Village Halls management committee was awarded the money to enable a new roof to be installed on the building as well as under-tile insulation to make it more energy efficient.

The committee has been working hard to update the building over the past few years, while ensuring its original features are preserved.

Management committee member Cathy Mayne said: The latest work is part of an attempt to upgrade the hall but keep its original character.

Its quite a traditional building. Its very well used and well loved and we just want to make the very best of it.

The hall, in Barrow Street, was built in 1928 but still boasts many of its original features.
