Braishfield Church RoomBack to Churches Page or Back to Residents Guide

Alongside All Saints Church, the Church Room has been completely refurbished to a very high standard and was officially
opened by the Bishop of Winchester on All Saints Day 2009. The cost of the refurbishment was met, almost entirely, by the
generosity of the villagers and those who have an affinity with Braishfield. We were very fortunate to receive grants from The
Low Carbon Building Programme and the Community Sustainable Energy Programme, towards the cost of our heating system.

There is a new oak framed entrance easily accessed, with a wide doorway and parking in the Church and church room car
parks.

The main room has a welcoming log fire, comfortable chairs and good lighting to suit various needs. Sixty people can very
comfortably sit at long tables for a meal, more can be sat round tables with less comfort. Smaller groups have the space for
sitting at table as well as a relaxing area round the fire.

The excellent kitchen has a large cooker with extractor hood, a commercial dishwasher, a plate warmer and a refrigerator.
Two hatches are available to help the unloading of food from outside as well as for serving into the main room. There are
over 60 cups and saucers and dinner and pudding plates, as well as place settings of cutlery.

The toilet area has coat hooks, two toilets, both for male and female, one of which is an easy access toilet.

At present there is no fixed charge, but donations are requested to cover the cost of heating, cleaning, electricity, water,
electrical testing, fire safety, insurance, maintenance etc.
