FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, ABBERTON & LANGENHOE WERE SMALL VILLAGES, WITH ONLY 50 FAMILIES IN EACH. DURING THE TWO WORLD WARS, THEY SENT THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY. MANY DID NOT RETURN. THOSE FAMILIES THAT DID NOT LOSE A SON, HUSBAND OR FATHER, LOST COUSIN, UNCLE, NEPHEW, CLASSMATE, NEIGHBOUR OR FRIEND.
"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother..."
St John chapter 19 verse 25
