Burnside Memorial Hall
The Burnside Memorial Hall was donated to the ecclesiastical parish of Plumtree by Mrs. Alice Mary Burnside in memory of her husband, William Elliott Burnside, and was opened in 1921. The Hall is administered by Trustees.
The Burnside Memorial Hall today fulfils a vital role in providing a venue for village events. It is used regularly by the Church, for Parish Council meetings, for bridge and art groups and for dance classes.
