| The Brassington, Bradbourne, and Hognaston
Branch of the Royal British Legion was founded on 16 December
1929. The Branch Standard was dedicated in St James, Brassington
on 26 June 1932 and was laid up in St James, Brassington on 8
June 1997. A new Branch Standard was dedicated at the same time
and is in the possession of the Branch Standard Bearer.
The land, just off Church St Brassington, on
which the Legion Headquarters stands was given by Miss Webster of
Ballidon Moor Farm and a small wooden hut was erected to serve as
the HQ until 1994 when a replacement larger hut was obtained from
Derbyshire County Council. Funds were then raised to clad the hut
with local limestone. The work was completed in 1996 and the new
HQ was opened by Lady Hilton.
The Branch is a member of the West Derbyshire
Group of the Royal British Legion.
New Members are always welcome. Please contact
the Secretary for a membership form.
The Branch meets every two months, or when
necessary, in the Legion Headquarters.The Branch has an active
social life which caters for all members.
