A Zeppelin Over Yarwell

The Tithe Barn Museum with its exhibition, A Zeppelin Over Yarwell, is now closed for the winter. 

The exhibition will open again for one more year next spring (2015).


In the meantime we are busy writing a book about the villages and  the impact  that  WWI had on the families of the six villages that were included in our research. Its a big project as we hope  also be able to provide some statics,

  • such as how many men signed in the first rush of 1914. 
  • how many were conscripted, 
  • what was the average age our our soldiers.
  • We are also looking at the vary varied regiments.
  •  Initially we had supposed that they would have mostly enrolled into the Northamptonshire Regiment, which currently does not seem to be the case.
  • and we looking at their pr-war employment.


  • Charles Bream who was killed in action on  December 21st  1914.
