Hartley Hall

Our parish community centre, Hartley Hall, opened in 2002. For years the parish had longed for a hall that would be fully accessible to everyone and accommodate the growing variety of spiritual, educational and social activities of the parish, as well as offering a welcome to the local community. The dream became a reality in 2000, when Mary Hartley died leaving her home to be sold to provide funds for the building of a new centre. She had been born and baptised into the parish of Holy Cross in 1908, and lived here most of her life. Her long-term friend Canon Mark Diamond gave her home to the parish. Inspired by such an extraordinary gift, the parish raised the remaining money needed to build the centre from a combination of private gifts, grants, from trusts and a variety of special fundraising events and activities.
