ceased to sell liquor, and the pub closed. Village Hall Stour Row village hall is a converted Congregationalist chapel built in 1847 and purchased by the village for £105/1s/6d in 1949 and became the Village Hall, and a registered charity. Among the necessary alterations a kitchen extension was built at the cost of £361/17s/3d. During 2013 the Hall underwent major restructuring, redecoration and modernising as a result of the generous contributions of local residents in terms of time and finance. This has provided a clean, bright and airy hall with modern kitchen, a store room and toilet with disabled facilities. In addition, the small garden area is maintained as a picnic area with children’s swing set for use in all weathers. References External links Stour Row village community website Villages in Dorset
