About the memorial: From the minutes of Freeland Parish Council- Annual General Meeting 24 April 2015- Minute 10- Robert Crocker gave a brief presentation on the Memorial Trees Project. 15 trees had been purchased and planted throughout Freeland to commemorate the 15 Freeland residents who died during WW1 and WW2. All residents whose homes were next to the proposed location of the trees had been asked beforehand about the planting of the trees, and a type of flowering Hawthorn had been chosen called Crataegus prunifolia. This species was a medium sized hawthorn tree which had white flowers in the spring to denote peace and red berries in the autumn to represent the blood that was shed. The Parish Council were arranging to have a brass plaque attached to each tree with the name of a person commemorated on each plaque. If anyone wished to sponsor a tree the plaques would cost around £43, and there were 12 remaining – he asked for anyone wishing to do so to contact the Clerk. It was hoped that these trees would remain part of the village for many years to come.
