World War 2 War Roll


When the Village Hall was renovated in 2004 the Word War1 War Roll and photos were sent for extensive renovation as they had been attacked by damp and the frames had woodworm. This was an expensive procedure and many in the village undertook enthusiastic fund raising to raise the necessary money for this project. They did so well that sufficient money was raised to both do the renovation and to commission a new WW2 War Roll.
