Levens Local History Group has received a National Lottery grant of £5,100 for its project '˜Levens in WWI'.
Awarded through the Heritage Lottery Fund’s First World War Then and Now programme, the project focuses on the servicemen whose lives are commemorated on the war memorial at St John the Evangelist Church, in Levens, and also on those who survived the conflict and returned to the area, as well as the role of the women, children and men who stayed at home and aided the war effort.
With help from professionals, the information gathered will form an online interactive archive and be made available through a book to be published in 2019.
