Lamb Holm: Italian Chapel Lamb Holm: Italian Chapel No Data

Description


During W.W.II the island was used to house Italian POWs, mostly captured in Northern Africa. They were put to work building the Churchill Barriers, and at the same time helped to build up the camp they were held prisoner in. They were granted two Nissan huts with which they built a small chapel. The chapel (Now known as the Italian chapel) still stands and is an amazing tribute to the work of the people who helped to build it.
