Stephen King-Hall was a well-known journalist, political commentator and playwright (see Wikipedia entry) who lived at Hartfield House, The Hanger, Headley.
He was Headley Theatre Club's first President, in 1952 and 1953. He was created Baron King-Hall of Headley in the County of Hampshire (Life Peer) on 15 January 1966. He died on 1 June 1966 and is buried at All Saints Headley (plot 24-40 in the long churchyard).
He wrote plays: 'The Middle Watch' (1930), 'The Midshipmaid' (1931), 'Admirals All' (1934) and 'Off the Record' (1947) – most were also made into films, the latter being adapted into 'Carry on Admiral' (1957). His plays were never performed in Headley – in 2024 we procured a script of 'Off the Record' and placed it in Headley Archives
Read his Lectures on Britain and the
Future (1943) and United Europe
