It's only as an adult that I've really come to appreciate these murals. My grandmother grew up in Woodgreen and the Sunday School panel features some of her brothers and sisters.
From Wikipedia: "When the village hall was built in 1930-1, two students from the Royal College Of Art (Robert Baker and Edward Payne) were commissioned by the Carnegie Trust to decorate the walls entirely with murals, depicting village life as it was then. The mural shows poachers looking down from Castle Hill; the Sunday School in the Methodist Church; folk dancing; fruit picking; the Horse and Groom; the village flower show; making cider; and the caretaker lighting the stove."
