MARKING SARRATT'S
PLACE IN HISTORY

Our Society was founded in 1996 and is run by a small group of people from the village. We share a passionate interest in our community, its people and how it has come to be the way it is. We also understand the importance of recording and maintaining stories, records and artefacts from the village and surrounding areas for the benefit of future generations.

We hold a regular calendar of well-attended talks and lectures in Sarratt Village Hall - meetings take place on Tuesdays at 7:30 for 8pm, with members attending free. Our Annual General Meeting takes place in January and we publish a programme of events every Spring.

We also arrange occasional ‘one-off’ walks of historical interest, and special exhibitions linked to specific historical anniversaries and commemorations.

A programme of events is published each Spring and sent to members. Membership is open to all and, as we research the history of local places and people, we encourage everyone to share their local knowledge with us.

Air Raids over Watford, 1940 to 1944

Helen George

Between August 1940 and January 1941 there were 24 air raids over Watford and a further six VI rockets landed in the town in the summer of 1944, with 58 people losing their lives. This presentation tells the story of those nights: the shelters, the first aid posts, the Air Raid Protection teams and rescue squads, the Town Hall underground control centre, the roads where the bombs fell, and the records that were kept of all incidents.



We are always looking for anyone who is interested in Local History to join the Committee of the society, please contact Sue Clark, Chair SLHS if you would like to come on board.
