Hickling at War

The Hickling Home Guard

War has come to Hickling (at particularly close quarters during the Civil War) and Hickling has gone out to War.

In any community the impacts of war are felt at the most personal level; in Hickling the numbers affected were small but the damage was felt deeply.

These pages aim to keep these memories and stories alive.
