A Zeppelin Over Yarwell

We are very pleased to be able to announce that our project will be funded by a grant of £3,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which will enable us to continue with this project.
The exhibition will be called A Zeppelin Over Yarwell, an allusion to the sudden WWI wartime appearance of a  Zeppelin over the village (to the considerable consternation of the villagers) which dropped a bomb in the nearby village of Wansford.

We plan to build a Zeppelin, not a full size one, to hang in the rafters above the exhibition. Currently we are trying to work out how to build one!
 We will not be using cow guts as reported in the Times Newspaper!
 
Our village school will also be involved with this project, knitting mittens,
 as the children did for 'the troops at the front.'
