History
The land for Mayfield Memorial Hall was purchased in November 1920 for £40 by a group of trustees;
- George Bowler, Church Farm, Mayfield (farmer)
- Elizabeth Wardle, Mayfield Hall (spinster)
- Agnes Alderson Simpson, Sunnyside (spinster)
- Edwin Hudson, Meadowside (Mechanic)
- Charles Lawson, Mayfield House (gentleman)
- George Simpson, Mayfield (cotton spinner)
The hall was built in 1922 and has been at the heart of village life ever since.
Mayfield Community Defibrillator
Another important feature of the Memorial Hall is the location of the village’s defibrillator. A critical piece of life saving equipment, this apparatus is positioned on the front corner of the building and can be operated, in conjunction with a 999 call to the emergency services, by anyone needing to come to the aid of a person experiencing a heart attack.
