About the memorial: A Garden of Remembrance surrounded by a wall enclosing lawns, flower beds and paths. The main memorial is set into the wall and is composed of three stone tablets, the centre one being the tallest, set on stone blocks. The names are in six columns with the lettering in black. Three stones of remembrance are set several yards in front of the main memorial with the inscription on the centre stone, and names on the stones either side. The lettering is in black. A plaque is set in the lawn, composed of bronze with a gold coloured edging and lettering. Various private plaques are set in the wall surrounding the cemetery. This memorial would fall outside of WMT's definition of a war memorial, rather a 'commemorative object of terrorist act'.

As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.

War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.

As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
