In December 1941, the ‘Civil Parish’ of Winteringham adopted the warship HMS Vanity.
She had been launched on Midsummer’s Day in 1918 as the Great War to end all wars was coming towards its end, but 21 years later the ship was pressed into a second war to protect the UK and its allies from an enemy threat. She survived the war and was scrapped in 1947.
