Other information

The Lockerley and East Dean War Memorial Hall – to use its full name – was built in the early 1900s. The biulding has been extended significantly over the years.  In the late 1990s a separate youth wing was added. Times change and this building is now used by the Acorn pre-school group.

 

The hall carries two plaques which commemorate events in the two world wars that took place in the 1900s.  One plaque to the side of the annex notes those of the village who fell in the first world war – aka The Great War.  A simple stone paviar is set into the ground of the entrance to the hall and this commemorates the Victoria Cross of Frederick Luke. 

 

A public access defibrillator is installed under the entrance porch; instructions for its use are set out on the front panel of the defibrillator. Lockerley village does have a small team of voluntary Community First Repsonders. If you would like to know more about the roles of CFRs or are interested in joining the team, then read more at the South Central Ambulance Service website.
