"Welcome to The Hindmarsh Hall..." Our much loved village hall lies at the heart of many of the events that make the beautiful village of Alnmouth so special for residents and visitors alike. Originally built as a granary in around 1750 the hall was shown on Thomas Wilkins map of the village dated 1791. After the great flood of December 1806, which changed the course of the river making St Walric'
s Chapel on Church Hill become isolated on its south bank. Algernon, The IVth Duke of Northumberland, had the former granary converted into a church in 1859 from whence it served this ecclesiastical purpose until 1876 when St John's Church was built in the centre of the village. The hall plays host to a diverse range of activities from small meetings and coffee mornings, to ballet, pilates and Dancefit, Explorer Scouts, professional and amateur performances and celebrations from children's parties to wedding receptions.
