A Zeppelin Over Yarwell

It has been a long time since we have blogged because we have been busy collecting information from all the villages. We have also applied for a grant from Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to enable us to put on the exhibition in the Tithe Barn Museum. We will not know if we have been successful until the end of September.

We have also managed to find some photographs and information about some of  our war dead and injured. For instance George Briggs who came from Nassington was only 19 when he was killed at Flanders.

He came from a family of  nine. His father Fredrick Briggs was a horse keeper and they all lived in a small three roomed house.

This is George's older brother who had been a farm labourer         in Nassington, but is leg was badly injured in action on
the 9th May 1915 aged 18 and he was unable to work for some considerable time after the war.
