History

Maker(s): Farmer & Brindley from London, Manufacturer
Sponsor Type: private
Sponsored By: Memorial erected in 1919 at the expense of a local resident, Col F Willan, in gratitude for the survival of his sons and to honour those who fell.
Maintenance History: Cleaning and repointing of the slab paving base took place in October 2002 at a cost of £500 which was met by Burley Parish Council. Three of the stone pillars were knocked down by a car in March 2004, the cost of the repairs were met by an insurance company. Restoration work for the memorial, including the addition of two names, a decoration to an existing name were estimated to cost £5600 in £5,600 in July 2007. Photographs taken in 2016 would indicate that the work was undertaken, probably around 2007/2008. The War Memorials Trust awarded a grant of £1,550 towards this work - see https://www.warmemorials.org/search-grants/?gID=419
