About the memorial: Seven acres of ancient woodland and lowland dry acid grassland endowed as a war memorial and recreational space for the benefit of the inhabitants of Pillowell Village and the neighbourhood. Very little remains of the pavilion erected in the late 1920s. The fences have become derelict and the land has been badly damaged by feral boar in recent years. There are plans to re-fence the site by the end of 2020. The plaque originally hung in the pavilion, but for safe keeping is now in Pillowell Village Hall.
