At Bellingham we presented scenes that led to the re-creation of three pictures photographed by W.P.Collier in 1914-1915. 
     The first was the requisitioning of horses.  Poignantly, these were led into Bellingham one by one from farms in different directions.                                                






































Sunday 19th October

    At St Peter's Falstone we dedicated a new War Memorial plaque which was unveiled by two men of the parish whose brothers had died in the Second World War.  The dedication took place within a service to commemorate the outbreak of WW1 in the presence of the Duchess of Northumberland, County Patron of the Royal British Legion.
Guy Opperman, MP with Jill Goodfellow, the Churchwarden who led the project to create this memorial
