Sutton Scotney & District

History

The Sutton Scotney & District Branch is number 1901, and was first established in 1935.  As of July 2023 the branch has 36 members from Sutton Scotney and neighbouring villages.

The current branch Standard is thought to have been dedicated in 1971.  Up until 2023 the flag was attached to the pole by only two drawing pins.  In 2023 a repair was undertaken and now the flag is securely attached to the pole with leather tabs screwed into the wood.

Several documents of the branch, including old minute books, have been archived in the Hampshire Record Office.  These are available for public viewing in the HRO reading room under ref: 67A23d1.  The documents are not available to view online.
