| The Stilton
Memorial Hall remembers the men who fell from Stilton, Folksworth, Morbourne,
Washingley, Denton and Caldecot and contains detailed information for World War
1 and World War 2. Transcriptions of the Memorial Plaques can be found on the
roll-of-honour
website. After
protracted legal enquiries and an unsuccessful search for deeds of the Memorial
Hall, possessory ownership is now (September 2010) vested in Stilton Parish Council.
The title will become absolute in 12 years.
The distinctive clock was refurbished
in November 2011 - read about the refurbishment.
