Village Green & War Memorial

The village green is at the centre of the village at the junction of Lees Hill and Alton Road and is opposite the war memorial.  It is a “gardened” village green area containing mixed borders, which are managed by local volunteers, a bus stop and grassed area.

The war memorial was raised in 1920 as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the 15 local servicemen who died in the First World War and the two who died in the Second World War.  It was given grade II listed status in 2016 as part of the commemorations of the centenary of the First World War.

Local fundraising by volunteers and a grant from the War Memorial Trust has funded improvements to the location and access to the memorial retaining it as a valued part of the centre of the village.
