More about this scene
This is a well-kept Garden of Remembrance in the centre of this large village; next door is the County Library. There were five wreaths around the plinth on the day I visited, including one from the Parish Council. The statue is clean, and the soldier's cap has a Lincolnshire Regiment cap badge carved on it. On the plinth are the names of 42 men from the village who died during the First World War and 8 from the Second.
