Our History
History
1926 – 2007:
Mrs Jessie Hughes was the wife of the Rector of Tarporley. As President of the Women’s Institute, she played a prominent part in providing a Village Hall for Eaton. Money was raised from two village fetes held on the Arderne Estate in May 1925 and September 1926, and along with other monies from subscriptions, whist drives and concerts, just over £500 was raised for building and furnishing the Eaton Institute.
