About the memorial: The row of trees here, at right angles to Princes Avenue, was planted in 1946 to commemorate Red Cross fundraising by rural communities across Britain. Nine trees were planted in the shape of a cross. Two of the oak trees had to be felled in 2010 because they were suffering from a fungal disease. Replacements were planted. Associated plaque (next to the road opposite a children's play area). Red Cross badge at top left and St. John Ambulance badge, top right.
