Allum Lane Community Centre

Just across the railway bridge on the borders of Elstree lies the Manor House, parts of which date back to the 17th century. It is thought that Baroness Orczy, author of ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’, may have lived in the house early in the 1900s. In 1951 it was bought by local subscription and is operated as a Community Association entirely independent of any Local Authority funding for operating costs, although the Association gratefully acknowledges the support of Hertsmere Borough Council and Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council in the recent refurbishment.

The house now offers a variety of rooms which can be hired by local clubs and societies or for a variety of private, public and business events such as children’s parties and club meetings.

Accommodation is also provided for the Citizens’ Advice Bureau and several local charities.

Behind the Manor House is the multi- purpose Allum Hall with well equipped kitchen and facilities for larger gatherings, and family celebrations.
