Stragglethorpe village hall is a new building, replacing a [[temporary structure]] built in 1921 by the [[Royal Air Force|RAF]]. It was built with the aid of a grant from the [[Big Lottery Fund]].<ref>{{cite web|title=New hall for rural Lincolnshire village|url=http://news.biglotteryfund.org.uk/pr_180510_em_rc_new_hall_for_rural_lincolnshire_village?regioncode=-em&status=theProg&title=New%20hall%20for%20rural%20Lincolnshire%20village|publisher=Big Lottery Fund|accessdate=8 August 2011}}</ref> ''The previous sentence does not refer to Stragglethorpe in Lincolnshire, there has never been a village hall in this village, I suspect that the contributor is referring to the village in Nottinghamshire of the same name, near Cotgrave. However, there was a village school but no building - it existed for a few years and probably held in a room in one of the houses. The evidence for this lies in a report by the Nottinghamshire Guardian of August 1869 in which the details of a first anniversary celebration was held, games were held in front of the Hall and the whole event was supported by the two tenant farmers....Mssr Parke and Tonge. Over £5 was raised for the school on the day.''

''There was a "Poor House" in the village for many years and it was mentioned every year in the Chapelwardens Register, 1796 - 1838, where a typical entry would state : To Sir Wm Welby for the Poor House Rent.....£1-0-0. It also appears that the village was responsible to the upkeep and maintainance of this building as in 1819 an invoice was paid by the Chapelwarden for £2-8-9d to Mr Gibson's delivery of 1500 bricks for the Poor House. It does not make clear whether this is for repairs or for an extension.''
