This lovely Cenotaph was constructed in 1922 in a garden that had been created after 1898 when the former Corn Exchange building that stood on this site was demolished at the end of 1898. The Corn Exchange was constructed in 1853 and was never considered a successful building hence its demolition only 45 years later. In a corner of the garden is a sole silver birch tree dedicated to the memory to those killed or injured in accidents at work. Whether knowingly or not this was fitting as one Martin Dallinger died from his injuries following a fall during the demolition of the Corn Exchange building in November 1898, probably only a few feet away from where the tree now stands..

Love walking around the Church, always feel safe inside, also the inside is really lovely. The Cenotaph is a really nice looking stucture and afiiting legacy to remember those who are no lonnger with us.

Beautiful church
