Seale-Hayne College Newton Abbot Devon

Seale-Hayne College Newton Abbot Devon

Women Trainees

In March 1918 Seale Hayne College was being prepared to being taken over

by the War Office to become the famous Seale Hayne “Shell Shock” Hospital.

Prior to that Seale-Hayne had been operating since 1915 as an agricultural training college for women

during which time “300 to 400 women had been trained in farm work”.

Would those women be freelance, as it were, or would they have been part of

the official organised Land Army?

Are there any records of Land Army Members or of Seale-Hayne students please?
