The Twyford Hall Soldiers Memorial Wing & Porch commemorate those from Merimbula who served in World Wars One and Two. The Soldiers Memorial Wing was erected on the 15th December 1962 and porch was donated by Miss Sarah Twyford in memory of the Merimbula Soldiers who served in World War One. Honour Rolls from both World Wars are located on the front of the building.  The original plaque from the Soldiers Memorial Wing no longer appears to be on the building. 

Twyford Hall was named after Mr. J. W.Twyford who donated the land for the site and started the movement for the erection of a new building for public purposes. The hall was officially opened on the 9th December 1931.
