More about this scene
The erection of the war memorial proved to be both protracted and controversial. Although a local committee had met in 1919 to discuss ideas for the project, building work would not begin until 16 years later! Even then, many villagers objected to the removal of trees to accommodate the structure. Alternative plans for a monument included a more elaborate cross design and the complete diversion of monies raised to fund a hospital instead.
