More about this scene

The wide, gently curving High Street is perhaps best admired from its lowest point and looking west. The extension to the war memorial after the Second World War was designed by the architect C L Gill. His home, The White House (diagonally opposite) is a Grade II* listed building built in 1812 for a local banker. It is a fine and important example of an elegant town house.

War Memorials

A special selection of photographs from our Archive of the War Memorials that connect us with those who fought and perished in the conflicts that have shaped the world we live in today. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
