| The names of the fallen on War Memorials generate
a great deal of enquiries from most researchers of Family History. It was
with pleasure, therefore, that in 1996 we accepted an offer from Peter
Southwell of Ash to undertake a piece of unique research into the names
on the Normandy War Memorial as part of his Open University course on Family
and Local History for he had lived the first 28 years of his life here
in Normandy
His completed work was deposited with the Society in October 2000 containing
the history of all but 12 names. Keith Lamont, also of Ash and one of our
members took over the baton of research successfully reducing the list
of untraced histories. Recently, the list has been reduced by locating
another of the fallen (for whom this commemorative scroll is a tribute),
thanks to information received from a corresponding member of the Society
now resident in Canada but who when a young girl lived here in Normandy. |

Council. It is believed the document was signed by Winston Churchill. In
1876 the War Department acquired the Manor of Cleygate, (approximately
1,200 acres), which included Normandy Common and this small area of land,
and in so doing had presumably become "Lord of the Manor of Cleygate".
