The Commemoration Hall was built in 1842 by Robert Fox, a local benefactor from Godmanchester, and was opened as the Scientific and Literary Institute. It was operated by a small body of Trustees until a major refurbishment in 1960 resulted in its being handed over to the Town Council for its long-term maintenance and operation.

This refurbishment was funded by public subscription and until recently there was a wooden plaque above the doors into the main hall, with the following inscription's

The Huntingdon Commemoration Hall
Provided by Public Subscription to Commemorate the fallen of this Borough in the Second World War 1939 – 1945.
Opened by Sir Roy Bucher KBE, CB, MC 6th January 1960.
