About the Hall
The hall is in the center of the village, next to the shop and the village green with its pond, stocks and whipping post.
​
The picturesque village of Aldbury lies 3 miles east of Tring, at the foot of a Chiltern ridge, and is almost surrounded by the Ashridge estate which is owned by the National Trust.
History of the Hall
The building was erected in memory of Richard Mountford Wood M.A., late rector of this parish by his widow and children in the year 1891.
​
The building was donated along with the Alms Houses to Aldbury village in 1892 by the Crauford family and managed by them until the Charitable Trust was set up in the 1960’s for the benefit of the inhabitants of Aldbury.
​
The Management of the Hall and the Alms Houses was split providing the current structure of two volunteer committees.
