MARSHGATE'S HALL IS FALLING DOWN!

Marshgate, partly in the parish of Otterham and partly in the parish of St Juliot, is a small village in a sparsely populated area of North Cornwall. There is neither a Church nor a Pub, just a Village Store and Post Office, a few farms and a number of houses. However, the focal point of the village is the Village Hall - "The Otterham & St Juliot Hall" to give it its full title. Although Marshgate may be small, the Hall caters for people living in the surrounding areas, mainly (as the name suggests) in the parishes of Otterham and St Juliot but also from a wider area as far away as Bude, Camelford and Boscastle. Used by many local groups, the Hall also plays host to dinners for the local population, is used by a play group and the local school and regularly hosts auctions. To lose the use of it would be nothing short of a disaster.

However the fabric of the building is frail and the time has come when the building needs to be replaced. For this a large sum of money, at least £250,000, needs to be raised, which is where you can help by giving us a donation, supporting one of the fund-raising events or by making a pledge.
