Project Description

'A Parish at War - A Military Record of Three Oxfordshire Villages Deddington - Clifton - Hempton' was originally published in 2011. The book was the culmination of four years of research by two amateur historians in a small Cotswold village. Their findings saw the lost names of twenty five men added to a new War Memorial plaque in the church in 2013. Content from the book formed part of BBC TV South and Radio Oxford programmes to commemorate the Battle of Passchendaele in July 2017.
