Interior view of the new entrance showing toilets and steps leading to Hardwick Hall, a large room used for refreshments, social activities and classes. It was named Hardwick Hall in memory of Cyril Hardwick and Miss Eileen Hardwick (no relation) who both left substantial legacies to the church. These gifts paid for extensive refurbishments and improvements to the building.
The money was left to the church by Joyce Hardwick on behalf of herself and Cyril who had died shortly before her. It was a pure coincidence that Eileen Hardwick should pass away at the same time, also leaving some money to the church. Although they were in no way related it did mean we could refurbish the hall and dedicate it in one name, thus remembering them all.
