Hale History Project

What's New,

The events held on the weekend of November the 11th an 17th &18th raised over £1500 for the Royal British Legion Poppy Fund. I would like to thank members of the Hale Art Group for painting 113 pebbles with the names of our World War 1 Heroes that were available by voluntary donation and placed around the village. Also thank you everyone who attended our events and the Last Post Ceremonies. Thanks also to Farnham Town Council who erected the Bunting and the Silent Soldier, the bunting received an awful battering from the storm and was reset twice.

The Hale Mortuary Chapels.

Unfortunately, after several meetings between the Hale Chapels Trust and Farnham Town Council it was agreed that saving the Chapels was not viable, and they were subsequently demolished and replaced by an award winning Memorial Garden using some of the materials from the original Chapels.
