Blakeney Cley & District Royal Legion has occupied its present site in Blakeney for nearly 100 years. Established to support services personnel in our community it’s continued to do that long into the 20th century. Today the needs of service personnel are different and there aren’t as many of them. We have devised contemporary support for our services communities around the country which can also support our local community and emergency services too.
