On Saturday 14th July, Wolverley Camp Archives were invited to a local event to display some information from Wolverley Camp. The Friends of St. Johns Church, Wolverley asked us to their “Pig Roast”, which was held in the grounds of the Church Hall. Surprisingly the event took place in near perfect weather and hopefully raised some more funds for the upkeep of our church. There was considerable interest in our display from many of those who came along. Its amazing just how many people still ask the question, “Where was Wolverley Camp”. Many were even more amazed at its history.

Saturday 21st April saw the arrival of what was once a familiar site at Wolverley Camp. Travelling from nearby Birmingham, Martin Collins arrived in his 1942 Dodge ambulance. This was a great opportunity to take photos of the ambulance and some of the remaining wartime buildings at the former hospital. Martin also took the opportunity of bringing with him a donation for the church Memorial Fund.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Memorial Fund can do so through the contact page on this web site. Perhaps we will be able to persuade Martin and his ambulance to visit us again when the memorial is dedicated.
