Cherry Hinton in the First World War
​
A committee of representatives from CHRA, St Andrew's Church, Royal British Legion and Cherry Hinton Local History Society collaborated on this exhibition which was shown as part of a series of events in 2018 commemorating the end of WW1 in 1918. You can see this again now online as part of the 2020 Cherry Hinton Remembrance Day events. Click on the image below to be taken directly to the exhibition.
VE Day In Cherry Hinton.
​
The Victory 75 committee (Representatives of the RBL, Cherry Hinton Local History Society, Cherry Hinton Residents Society and St. Andrews) had planned an exhibition to be part of the WW2 Commemoration. They will take place as soon as circumstances allow. In the meantime, listen to the memories of local Cherry Hinton residents as they recall the events of VE Day in Cherry Hinton.
The Cherry Hinton Poppy Blanket
​
In Autumn 2018 a call went out to local residents to support the work of the Cherry Hinton RBL to knit poppies and create a blanket of red to place behind the village war memorial
The call was answered with great enthusiasm and poppies were donated and sewn together to create the piece we now have hanging on the railings of the recreation ground.
The picture below shows just a few of the crafters who worked on the project. Whilst we may not be able to come together as a community to pay our respects this year perhaps, when passing
​
the recreation ground, you may be able to take a moment to have a look at the work close up and even spot a poppy that you knitted. If you would like to get involved in knitting/crocheting poppies for an addition to the blanket please chragroup@outlook.com
