About the memorial: This is not a war memorial but a CWGC cemetery feature see the Protection tab. It is under the care of the CWGC whose graves and memorials are offical commemorative sites as opposed to local or community war memorials created by public subscription which are the focus of this website. See the What is a war memorial section of this website for further information. During the early months of the 1939-1945 War a piece of land in Block 1 on the eastern boundary was set aside by the Borough Council for service war burials. This became the War Graves Plot and contains 37 war graves, the remainder being scattered elsewhere. The total number of 1939-1945 War burials is 67. They include 13 sailors, 29 soldiers and 24 airmen, all belonging to the forces of the United Kingdom, and one airman belonging to the Royal Canadian Air Force. Just within the entrance to the War Graves Plot stands the Cross of Sacrifice, facing a broad pathway leading to an oak seat within a recess. The graves are grouped on either side of this central path in a wide expanse of lawn.

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.
