In the early 1990s the Church of St James the Great, Thorley
was proving too small for its growing congregation. In 1994 a large adjoining
Tudor barn belonging to Thorley Hall Farm became available. After fundraising,
plus a considerable donation, the pig barn was converted into the substantial
church and community centre that we have today. This talk will focus on its
year-long conversion, its timber-framed history and its present day uses.
