War Memorial, Barnett Wood Lane

The War Memorial is on the corner of Barnett Wood Lane and Oakfield Road, by St. George's Church. The inscription reads: "In honoured and thankful memory of the men of this parish who gave their lives in the service of their King and country 1914-1919". Below this is another line, partially obscured by the flowers, but it almost certainly reads: "Their names shall live forevermore". Below is a stone with a list of the names of the dead from the Second World War of 1939-1945. Just above this is an urn in remembrance of an RAF officer, who was killed in 1953.
