Beside the main road through the village on the base of the ancient cross is an elaborate war memorial. It stands outside St Mary's Catholic Church, which was built by John Lingard, who came to the village in 1811. A priest and historian, amongst his many works was a much-acclaimed eight-volume 'History of England'.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
