It has been named the Dennis Gunn Room after Mr Dennis Gunn, a local man, who was Chairman of the Parish Hall Committee for some 30 years and who dedicated a great deal of his own time to the planning and fundraising for this new hall. Unfortunately Mr Gunn has not lived to see the finished hall but his wife, Frances, has played an excellent role as secretary of the hall committee and has been actively involved in numerous fundraising events.

The Dennis Gunn Room (4.2 x 6.7 m) can be used as a small meeting room or can be used in conjunction with the Main Hall as a bar area or "quiet space". It has an open hatch to the Kitchen and oak floor finish.
