The Caerwys Memorial Institute was built in 1922,
as a war memorial to the men who fell in service of their King and Country during the Great War. The land was donated to the
people of Caerwys by the Right Honourable Sir John Herbert Lewis - who was a member of the then, His Majesty's Privy Council.
(Sir Herbert resided in Plas Penucha, Pen -y- Cefn, Caerwys) . Apart
from the memorial building a Bowling Green was included, which has turned out to be one of the best Crown Greens in North
Wales. In 1926 Sir Herbert donated a further parcel of land to the people of Caerwys - which is where the two tennis courts
and the children's playground is situated. The building can be hired for functions and meetings (no alcohol is allowed
as this was a condition placed on the agreement for the donated land). Presently the building is used for various meetings, such
as the Town Council, Farmers Union, Woman's Institute, and the Youth Club who are all regular users. The annual Remembrance
Sunday Wreath Laying Service is also held at the Institute. Please read more about this event further down this web page. The present day running of the building is the responsibility of a Management Committee, who are selected
and nominated from the residents of the town and community, together with representative Councillors. Please find the following details in respect of the senior officials of the Management
Committee, and to whom enquiries can be made in relation to the hire of the building, or any further information |
