About the memorial: A small rectangular stone watch room set in the churchyard of Tundergarth Parish Church. It has a small sash window and door at the front and a small stone chimney with a slate roof. Dedicatory tablets placed on the walls. This building was refurbished as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Lockerbie air disaster- refer 'The Times 7 December 1990. The significance of the location is that the cockpit of the aircraft came to rest in the field immediately opposite Tundergarth church so this is the nearest location for a memorial. One victim is also buried in the churchyard. 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.
