About the memorial: The Woodland Trust has leased the WCMO almost 1 acre of land in Thorn Wood. Volunteers are planting an orchard in memory of all who fought in two World Wars and in more recent conflicts particularly those who were killed or injured. This is an amenity for all residents of Weaverham, Hartford and surrounding communities. We also aim to bring a local village tree, the Wareham Russet apple tree, back from the brink of extinction and to plant it alongside other Cheshire heritage fruit trees including another village tree, the Hazel Pear used to dye uniforms khaki during WW1. The orchard will provide a place of quiet reflection in which to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
