Teigh
There are records of 2 Fallen from Teigh during The Great War - click view details for more information.
Teigh is one of 51 "Thankful Villages" where no one from there is officially recorded by the Royal British Legion as having died in the First World War. It is the only village classified as such in Rutland. However on the war memorial inside Holy Trinity Church in Teigh there is the name of William Haines who was killed in the Battle of the Somme. We have William down as coming from nearby Market Overton but it’s possible he spent a considerable amount of time in Teigh.

Today they lie in cemeteries across the old battlefield in northern France or are remembered among the 72,000 names on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme.
