In the week leading up to half term the school kindly sent out a questionnaire with every pupil.

The intention was to get the children to ask their parents and grandparents about the First World War and whether they had a relative who served in the conflict. In addition it was also designed to track down family members.

Whilst not directly through the questionnaire we have through St Werburgh’s tracked down relatives of James Poyser and his story will be featured next month.

The project team are waiting to lick the results iof the survey up after the half term break and excited at the prospect of unearthing more stories and local history.
