About the memorial: The Downham Market war memorial cross stands on Church road and is one of the inner gateways to the town. The memorial is within a conservation area. The memorial is surrounded by a small memorial garden. The set of photographs are from 2005 so predate the WMT Condition Update of Good. The names seem to have been replaced by new stone tablets at some point and were very clear but the memorial itself looked in need of some attention which is presumably why it got the grant
