WAR MEMORIAL HALL Well - War Memorial Institute From Louth Standard 16th December 1922 ‘The Schoolroom in this pretty village was opened on Monday evening by Major Rawnsley as a War Memorial Institute and Recreation-room, and although only open occasionally each week will certainly prove beneficial to the life of the village. The furniture for the room has been given by two ladies of the parish and Miss Hasnip has given three hanging lamps. One female and two males lost their lives on War service, these being Nurse Hasnip, Philip Belton and John Sewel (sic) and photographs of all three were unveiled at the opening ceremony. A public tea was held and a concert wound up the proceedings.’ Photo S Pitt May 2019 When the schoolroom was sold off is not known, or what became of the artefacts which have been in the building, since the only thing the present owners found when the brought the property was the dedication with smashed frame in an envelope, which they had restored an is now on display in the bungalow.
