Welcome to Moorsholm Memorial Hall |
About Our Village
Because of its proximity to the North Sea coast the area was vulnerable, historically, to attack by invaders from Scandinavia. The name of Moorsholm is of Viking origin with the suffix holm, which meant a settlement, being affixed to the location of the village by the moors: so meaning settlement by the moors. The village used to be called Great Moorsholm to distinguish it from a farm called Little Moorsholm, which is the other side of the Hagg Beck Valley to the north. 'Little Moorsholm' is a title now more commonly applied to a more modern housing estate between that farm and Lingdale. The settlement was mentioned in the Domesday book as Morehusum, belonging to the Earl of Morton and later Clan Bruce, ancestor to the kings of Scotland, and from them descended to the Thwengs, Lumleys, and others. It was a planned mediaeval village built along a main street with crofts and their associated tofts on each side. The church of St Mary, Moorsholm, was built in 1892 and is of stone in 12th-century style. It consists of chancel, nave and west tower.
About 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of Moorsholm is the landmark of Freebrough Hill, a detached natural hill which is conical in shape.

About Our Village Hall
The Memorial Hall was built as a war memorial in 1957 and is used as the doctors’ surgery and meeting Room. Recently extensively refurbished and re-equipped with grant assistance mainly from North York Moors, Coast & Hills Leader Programme.
Moorsholm Memorial Hall is very versatile, and you can book either the Main Hall or the Supper Room (or both) for a variety of purposes.
Children's Party? No problem. Indoor Sports? We can help. Talk to our Secretary (as below) and we'll do all we can to help your event to be a success. And if you're not sure whether your idea is feasible, and you just want to try it out for a couple of weeks, then discuss it, and we may be able to offer you a 'taster' rate for a short while to get you started.
