About the memorial: At the end of the Great War the village of Little Baddow decided to commemorate its loss by giving to the living by purchasing the Old (village) Hall and adding a memorial arch to serve as a porch into the building which would be used by the community for concerts, dances and parties. A wooden board containing sixteen names of those lost was mounted inside the hall. Disaster struck in 1959 when the hall was destroyed by fire and the roll of honour lost. The arch was however undamaged and was relocated as a standalone structure in the grounds of the new and renamed Memorial Hall, where it stands today. In 2015 an appeal was launched within the village to raise funds to have the Roll of Honour reinstated within the arch itself. Through many generous donations work was completed in 2016 in time for a rededication service on Armistice Day, thus preserving the names of those who gave their lives in both world wars in one place which is openly accessible to all.
