WW2 Memorial Plaque

Ever wondered why there is an eagle made from stone on the wall of the pharmacy on Hoton Road?

It was created in 1983 to commemorate the deaths of nearly all the crew of a Wellington bomber which crashed after barely missing the village.

Ralph Emmerson is related to one of those who died and has written an article about the crash and plaque, which can be viewed on the Wolds Historical Organisation website at https://www.hoap.co.uk/who/eagle_memorial.htm.  He has also organised funding for a plaque which gives the names of the airmen.

The new WW2 Memorial plaque next to the Eagle Mural  will be unveiled during a Service of Dedication, on Thursday 20th March 2024 at 2pm. All parishioners are welcome to attend. Continue reading →

Questionnaire for Heritage Lottery Fund bid

St. Mary’s Church Wymeswold is under threat following the discovery of more dry rot in the roof, which urgently needs replacing.  An application has been made to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and the aim is also to put St. Mary’s on the map as an important heritage site, and to have more history-based activities in Wymeswold.

To help secure National Lottery Heritage funding, as many people as possible are needed to give their input.  Please help by completing this survey, which is also published in June’s edition of the Link.
