1990 - 2000

The first three Pictorial Histories of Odell, compiled in the 1990's by Peter Coleman, Florence Shellard,
Derek Spencer and Edith and Ernest Surridge, are now out-of-print. Thanks to funds raised by the 2024
Odell Village Fete, they can now be viewed online, with
The Millenium Book of Odell, written and compiled
by Barbara Corley, which also contains a fourth Pictorial History.

These materials, as well as the interviews with
residents recorded that morning, can now be

here.

On June 4th 2022, the Neighbourhood planning
group held a coffee morning, at which they
exhibited photos and documents contributed by
villagers to illustrate Odell’s character and
recent history.

Hiring the Village Hall

Odell Village Hall is a wonderful facility that provides our community groups with a base for a variety of activities.

It is located in the centre of the village, with easy access to the A6 and A428, with a small car park plus on-street parking.


The hall is an ideal venue for private functions, birthday parties, social events, day/evening classes and fund-raising activities. It is available for hire by local groups and individuals, for the use of residents and those from outside the village.


There is step-free disabled access, a fully equipped kitchen with serving hatch, designated bar area and moveable staging in the main hall. Maximum guest capacity 80.
