Comments:
The Memorial garden was completely re-planted and re-turfed between 2013 and 2016. The War Memorial is beautifully tended throughout the year by Chris and Carol Wheeler and help with funding comes from Mathern Community Council. The War Memorial is on the staggered crossroads at the beginning of the village and is a focal piece of the village. The planting and layout has been carefully chosen to show respect and also provides a sensory and bee friendly garden where villagers and visitors can admire the splendid stone memorial and remember the fallen. There is a rose planted for each named on the memorial. The Community Council has installed an information panel detailing the history of the memorial.
