Remembering the contribution of the women of the Suffolk Women’s Land Army and the personal losses they endured.
Nicky Reynolds and Vicky Abbott – both Suffolk gals with many years of experience in Women’s Land Army Living History enactment and both with relatives that served in the WLA in the County – who have led the project ‘Soil Sisters: putting the WLA on the map in Suffolk’.
since 2019 researching the stories of the Women’s Land Army in Suffolk, particularly focusing on:
stories of individual women who served in the WLA in Suffolk
details of where WLA members lived and worked
how the WLA was organised in Suffolk
Alongside the Soil Sisters exhibition, we have a very special poppy installation which has been created by our wonderful and creative Stitch & Sip volunteers sewing group. Over the past 10 months they have been patiently sewing hundreds of hand crocheted poppies onto netting, to create this poignant memorial to those women who’s fiancés and husbands never returned.
