More about this scene
Following the armistice in 1918, war memorials were erected by many parishes throughout the British Isles, either close to the church, or in a public place, as a symbol of a shared grief, where people could come together to remember their relatives and friends. Gardens such as this should also be able to offer a private area where it is possible to reflect quietly, away from public gaze, but this is often a rare luxury. At Sileby in 1960 the approach to the garden is somewhat grim, with only a few shrubs and an isolated tree.
