Over 4 years ago
the Parish Council decided that Stithians was in need of a Resource
Centre, which would incorporate a dedicated Pre-School, an IT Suite,
and a Library. The existing Village Hall needed a new kitchen and
refurbishment of the Main Hall. At that time the building was
leasehold from The Glebe.
Enquiries were started which would lead to the purchase of the
freehold. After a lot of hard work by The Chair, Councillor Monica
Biscoe, and the then Village Hall Committee involving legal work,
planning permission, and the raising of funding mainly through
grants from the National Lottery, Objective One, Rural Renaissance,
The Parish Council, and other organisations shown in the logo above,
building of the Centre was at last started on 23rd April 2007

On Saturday the
8th March 2008, the Stithians Centre was officially opened by Daphne
Skinnard, from Radio Cornwall, accompanied by Mrs.Margaret Ramsey,
Chair of Stithians Village Hall and Resource Centre Committee, and
Mrs. Megan Bury, who with her late husband put so much work into the
Village Hall.

St Stythians Band

The Library stocked and ready to
be
