There are many general resources about WW2 available on the web. Here are some that are specific to our village.

Village specific resources

WW2 Roll of HonourThe WW2 Roll of Honour for the village can be found near the lockup and war memorial. It has a list of everyone who served in the war, with their rank and regiment. To get to a webpage that contains all this information click here.

 From that webpage you can also get to a webpage for each man who died in the war with more detail about them. Much of this information came from Jane Staniland’s research (see below).
