About the memorial: Former tithe barn converted to a village hall in 1928 in Arts and Crafts style (source www.british-history.ac.uk) as a memorial to the dead of the First World War. A stone tablet bearing a dedication and names in two columns, all in black capital letters, is set into the wall above the main entrance to the hall. At the top of the tablet above the dedication are three coloured flags: the Union Flag; the modern (i.e. maple leaf) Canadian flag; and an incorrect version of the Australian or New Zealand flag, i.e. it has the six stars of the Australian flag, but they are coloured red as on the flag of New Zealand - perhaps this is intended to represent both countries.
