Historic interest: * as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the conflicts of the C20. Group value: * for the strong group value the war memorial holds with the nearby Church of Holy Trinity (listed at Grade I) and the Three Kings Inn (listed at Grade II).
