History

Maker(s): T H Northam, Designer
Freeman & Sons, Builder
Maintenance History: In 2014, War Memorials Trust offered a grant of £675 towards cleaning the memorial and re-painting the lettering. The cleaning was undertaken using a steam cleaning system, and was required due to vegetative growth encroaching on the memorial’s design. The re-painting was carried out with black enamel paint to the lettering which had deteriorated
