Full Description
Second World War Home Guard Battle Headquarters at Home Farm, Higham. This was for the local tactical command of the Higham unit of the Home Guard. The nature of any adaptations to the buildings is not known. It is presumed that the present Home Farm on the eastern side of School Lane was the building utilised. This probably began in 1940 and would have been decommissioned by 1944.
