The Women’s Land Army during the First World War

An illustrated talk on ‘The Women’s Land Army during the First World War’ will be given by local historian Helen Frost on Friday 10th October 2025. The evening will take place in the splendid setting of St John the Baptist Church, Harringworth when the church will be beautifully decorated with flowers and produce for Harvest. Tickets which include a glass of wine and canapés are £15 each with proceeds in aid of the Harringworth Appeals Fund.
Be enthralled by this new army doing their National Service; one that made such an incredible contribution to the war effort at home, but that have, in the intervening decades been all but forgotten. The pioneering Women's Land Army of the Great War years aimed to recruit women largely from wealthier backgrounds for the first time although this was not always the case! For the many women who worked in mainly towns and cities in stable, well-paid jobs or didn't work at all prior to the war, they were strongly encouraged to come and work on the land, (often for the first time) in large numbers.
