ARE
YOU NEW HERE ?
Newer Wawne residents,
less familiar with the local history of the
village, may be interested to know that the museum
inside The Old School in Sutton village holds a
great deal of information. They were very
much 'joint villages' with close family links
until recent times, when 'new developments' grew
between them to make it appear they are less
connected than one would think. The history
of neither village can be studied, or understood
in isolation, the connections are so deep.
The museum holds over 30 albums of photos of local
history and family connections, 5 of them on Wawne
itself.
All available to view, for free, on Fridays, 10am
- 2pm.
Wawne Village Hall has its own community FACEBOOK page ...

THE SUTTON &
WAWNE MUSEUM DVD PROJECT
 The DVD
is on sale, issued by the Sutton & Wawne
Museum. It is essentially to replace Merrill
Rhodes' excellent history on Sutton,
Bransholme & Wawne, which has now gone out
of print. This DVD project is to celebrate the
timeless links between both villages, and to
raise funds for the Museum. It contains a
digitised version of the Second Edition,
including all photos, maps and diagrams. The
chapter headings and layout remains faithful
to Merrill's own, and can be viewed on any PC
or laptop, region-free. The page format is
HTML, ie, website format, and the images are
all jpeg. The whole contents can be
transferred to a stick or card, so will also
be able to be viewed on a tablet.The DVD now contains a significant number of "Extras"; dozens of images of both villages from the museum's own collections, dozens of modern images of both churches, several school visits to the Museum including by Wawne Primary School, and links to information on RAF Sutton and local Anti-Aircraft gunsites of WW2, plus information on both village war memorials.  Complimentary
copies were distributed to the Hull History
Centre, Beverley Treasure House, both churches
who have helped, and Brooklands Camera Club
who have supplied dozens of the modern church
photographs, and several other contributors to
the project, including Wawne School. The
Museum funded the first run itself, hence the
restricted number, but then hope to do further
copying runs using profits from the initial
sales. It had been planned for release in
early 2017, with extra funding from a grant
from the Creative Communities programme for
arts and culture. Sadly, we got turned down,
hence the limited number of sale copies for
now. It is available in the museum in Sutton
every Friday, and now also in the Hull
Peoples' Memorial Shop in Whitefriargate,
Tuesday to Saturday. The whole DVD, which is Merrill's book, with every photo and map, plus many other historic photos and extras, is also now available online, to view, for half of the DVD price, �5, by making a donation, the details of which can be found on our 'Friends' page. |

Computers were invented to make work quick and efficient.

Wawne Post Office ... an essential part of any village life Wawne Ferry ... ... closed in the 1950s (before anybody adjusts their sat-nav and tries to navigate it).

Wikipedia page on Meux and its ancient history Waggoners Arms ... our local hostelry, listed on a What Pubs guide The Cold War Bunker ... not open to the public; now converted to a private bungalow Windham Family ... and deeper Wawne family history The Domesday Book ... this link used to go directly to the entry on Wawne's place within it, nearly a thousand years ago. But not now, so presumably one has to dig deep within and search for it. modern Wawne ... listed on Wikipedia, today's population stats, links to emergency services and brief history. Wawne Convenience Store and Shop ... the address is wrong, but the photo and map are correct, so hey ho .. ..
