About the memorial: Hindon war memorial is a Portland stone pillar with an inscription on one face and names on the remaining three. The memorial was originally located within the centre of the village and was surmounted by a stone lantern. However, Hindon Parish Council meeting minutes from 21st September 1943 record the demolition of the memorial by a tank on 12th July 1943. The remains of the memorial were relocated to the village church as a temporary measure and following a public meeting on 14th August 1945 it was determined that the memorial should be re-erected within the churchyard. The memorial was rebuilt using the original stone by the west door of St John the Baptist’s Church. However, the lantern was not re-constructed because, it is believed, this element was too badly damaged. In addition to this the flower shelf was removed at this time to allow space for the commemoration of those who fell in the Second World War.
