War Memorials Trust case: War Memorials Trust needs to avoid Contributors changing location/description details as we help to protect and conserve this war memorial through our casework. You can still add photographs, update condition and use the tabs below. If you believe any of the information you cannot edit is wrong or information is missing, please make a note of the reference number and include it in your email when you contact us.

Status: On original site
Type: Freestanding
Location: External
Setting: Within a garden/park/churchyard/enclosure/Marketplace
Description: Stone of remembrance
Materials:
  • Stone Stone (any)
Lettering: Incised
Conflicts:
  • Second World War (1939-1945)
About the memorial: The memorial consists of 17 stones set in the grass outside the church, which are side by side with 7 CWGC-style headstones and a memorial to the 7th Hampshire Regt which together form a garden of remembrance (WMO 136166). According to the IWM, the stones orignally had wooden crosses set into them but these have been lost to the ravages of time. So too have some of the names and inscriptions. All of the photographs of the individual stones have been adjusted to try to make them more readable. There is some overlap with the names on the WW2 panel of the interior memorial (WMO 74092) but some appear only here.
