To the south of the Mill stands the Mill Hall which was opened in 1971 when Rayleigh was administered by the Rayleigh Urban District Council. Following local government re-organisation in 1974 the District Council has carried out extensive improvements to the hall which now includes Squires where light meals and refreshments can be obtained. In 2003 the running of the Hall was taken over by Holmes Place a company specialising in sports and fitness centres. They injected £1 million into the business by modernising the foyer and the exterior of the buildings.
