Doreen Wright were discovered. The diaries cover the period of May 1940 to December 1942 and provide a fascinating insight into her life during the War, whilst living with her parents-in-law at Wootton Court (now The Hayes) in Leek Wootton.<br \/>\nThe Doreen&#8217;s Diary project was supported by The Heritage Lottery Fund, which led to the publication of not only the diaries, but also a learning pack for schools.  We also developed an oral archive of wartime experiences, a reminiscence book and held a number of events including a School Super Learning Day, World War II Walks, exhibitions and workshops.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leekwoottonandguyscliffe.org.uk\/index.php\/community-links\/clubs-societies\/history-group\/projects\/doreens-diary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about the Doreen&#8217;s Diary project<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leekwoottonandguyscliffe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/OutsideTheBox.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leekwoottonandguyscliffe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/OutsideTheBox-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"OutsideTheBox\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leekwoottonandguyscliffe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/OutsideTheBox-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.leekwoottonandguyscliffe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/OutsideTheBox-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.leekwoottonandguyscliffe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/OutsideTheBox.jpg 482w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2008-2009:<br \/>\n<strong>Warwickshire County Council&#8217;s Outside the Box Project<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Waller collection was deposited at the County Record Office as a loan by Lady Viola Waller during the 1940s and 50s.
