St Peter’s Rooms

Built in 1852 for Sir Thomas Parkyns, the Infants’ & Girls’ School was dedicated to the memory of his grandmother and parents. It was later known as Ruddington St Peter’s Junior School and was subsequently converted to a community hall in 1976, being officially re-opened to the public as St. Peter’s Rooms on 13th November of that year.

Ruddington Parish Council leases the building from the Parochial Church Council on a peppercorn rental of £100 per annum, with the council meeting all maintenance expenditure; the current lease expires in 2027. The building is classified by English Heritage as Grade 2 Listed.

The Parish Council offices are situated within these rooms and all Parish Council meetings are held there, along with most Parish Council committee meetings. Part of the building is sub-let to the Local History  & Amenity Society and contains the Ruddington Village Museum.

The building comprises a Main Hall with newly refurbished wooden floor suitable for dancing, a carpeted Committee Room (also known as the Lounge), a kitchen with serving hatches, male and female toilets plus a toilet for disabled users. Ramped access has also been provided.
