In 1921, the first year as a Parish Hall the accounts show the income was:
|
|
Activity | Income |
Modern equivalent adjusted for inflation | |
|
|
Dancing Classes |
£2.12s.6d | £111.56p | |
|
|
Profit from Whist Drive and Dance |
£4.0s.0d | £170.00p | |
|
|

£1.1s.0d | £44.63p | |
|
|

|
|
Total Bank Balance in December 1921 |
£28.15s.4d | £1,222.59p |
To put this onto context, the total hall income of £28.15s.4d in 1921 was roughly the cost of a skilled workman for 28 days: you’d probably pay around £2800 for 28 days skilled work in 2018.
