Abstract:		 A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust at the former Great Wigborough Village Hall, School Lane, Great Wigborough, Essex in June 2020. The building was initially constructed as a Church of England national school in 1854 and was subsequently expanded in size several times in the 19th and 20th centuries, with extra ranges and a porch extension. In 1902 a national education act transferred administration of the school from the Church of England to the local authorities. By 1933, amidst falling pupil numbers, the school was closed, with its remaining students transferred to Birch school. The building remained unused for 20 years, and fell into partially derelict state. In 1953, after some refurbishment, it was reopened as a 'coronation hall' in celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It remained in use as a village hall until the 1990s, when it was again closed down, this time over safety concerns due to the buildings deteriorating fabric.
