The meeting place of the Loyal Lodge of Oddfellows.  The Medina Lodge was started by Mr. Alfred Brannon and 22 others, in February 1845.

We had thought the practice of youths going about as Christmas mummers had died out, but it appears it has not.


RSHG held a Remembrance Service on Saturday 12th November at 3pm in the West Street Cemetery in Ryde, when 35 people were in attendance.
