Buckland Brewer

Buckland Brewer remembers World War 2

To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day Buckland Brewer History Group is collating memories (mostly 'second-hand') and memorabilia associated with the Second World War, from Buckland parishioners.

The collection will be exhibited in the Parish Church from May 1st until May 19th and the church will be open daily between 10 am and 4pm apart from on Thursday May 8th when it won't be closed until around 7pm. On that day items that are too valuable to their owners to be left unattended can be displayed as members of the History Group will be in attendance all day.

Light refreshments will also be available until 4pm on May 8 th. . Once the exhibition has been dismantled the History Group proposes to create a permanent exhibition space in the Church to honour the contribution Buckland Brewer people have made to all global conflicts.

If you have items that commemorate a person, civilian or military, or an event, relating to Buckland Brewer during the time of war and you would like it to form part of this permanent display we would love to hear from you.
