First World War Exhibition: St Lawrence Heritage Discovery Centre. 2 August to 14 September 2014

The St Lawrence Heritage Discovery Church is currently staging an exhibition on World War I and the Dengie Hundred.

As the name implies, the principal focus is on the activities of the armed forces within the local area and the contribution by local people in many spheres.

Numerous contemporary photographs illustrate and help to tell the story, well supported by personal memoirs, official regimental War Diaries and general information. Details of those who made the supreme sacrifice have been researched as well as some who served and survived.

The exhibition should hold something of interest to anyone interested in the locality or in our military and maritime past or the early years of air warfare.

Exhibition extended to 28 September 2014

Location: St Lawrence Church, near Southminster, CM0 7LN. Open Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, 2 August -28 September inclusive, 2.30 - 4.30 pm or other times by arrangement.
