Sevenoaks Volunteer Drill Hall. In 1897 W.J. Thompson gave a plot of land in Argyle Road for the erection of a Drill Hall in honour of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. An appeal for funds was held and the Hall opened the following year for the 1st Volunteer Battalion of the Royal West Kent Regiment who were billeted in Sevenoaks. An adjoining residence was for the Sergeant Instructor. [Source: Killingray & Purves - Sevenoaks: An Historical Dictionary (copyright Sevenoaks Historical Society)]

Cornwall Hall. The Hall stands behind the Methodist church in The Drive and consists of a large hall surrounded by a smaller hall and a range of rooms, plus a kitchen. Opened in 1906, it was paid for and equipped by Henry Swaffield who intended it for use by members of the Church and the people of Sevenoaks. During the First World War the building was used as a hospital as commemorated on a plaque inside the entrance. In the Second World War it was used as a British Restaurant.
