War Memorial Restored

Decades of wind and rain have taken their toll on the war memorial plaque at East Boldre Village Hall. In 2015, however, the missing letters were replaced by Allstone Stonemasons of Southampton who offered their services free of charge. The restored lettering was repainted by Sue Adams, a village hall volunteer. Visit our Village Hall War Memorial page to find out more about the local soldiers who died in the two world wars.

The Complete Story of East Boldre Airfield 1910-1920

In 1910, the sleepy village of East Boldre was awestruck by the arrival of a fleet of flying machines and the New Forest School of Aviation - one of the first flying schools in the world. By 1915, the Royal Flying Corps arrived, the personnel soon outnumbering the villagers by three to one. They cleared the heathland, erected massive buildings, flew their machines into trees, knocked off chimney pots and even landed on the Post Office roof.
