The Hall was originally built as the village school in 1872. There were 47 children on it’s books by 1875. A voluntary school board was formed in 1878 and the school house next door was built in 1880. The school had originally been an all age school but became a junior school in the early 1940’s. Onecote county primary school finally closed as a school in 1984. In 1992 the school building started to be used as a village hall under the ownership of the Lichfield Diocese. The building was eventually purchased by the community of Onecote in 1999.
