About the memorial: The old stone bowl font, in use at Catney (the local name for Catherine-de-Barnes) had been in use for baptisms at the church since Joseph Gillott gave it to the village in 1879. Renowned local artist Elphege Pippitt (who also created the calvary war shine at St Alphege Church) designed the memorial, with the bowl fitted with chains and sunk into an oak stand.
