History
Within the All Saints Church in Ulceby, there are various memorials dedicated to soldiers from the First World War and Second World War. The First World War memorial is a plaque in which seven names are held, which was unveiled in May 1920. The Second World War memorial holds two names and is a similar but smaller plaque located in the All Saints Church. There is also an individual memorial plaque to the memory of Captain George Mansel, who died in September 1884. There is also an RAF war memorial made of granite at the junction of the A16 road. It was placed there on the 50th anniversary of the Lancaster PB 476 (PHY) aircraft which crashed near the placement of the memorial due to a Luftwaffe intruder. Before 1921, the children of Ulceby with Fordington attended a school in Well, a Parish situated 1.8 miles southwest of Alford. In 1912 the parish built a County Council School which most children from the parish now attend. There was once an Anglican church in the hamlet of Fordington, however no trace of it remains.
