Exhall War Memorial, CV7
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 11 Oct 2010
A modest unpolished pale granite obelisk, it stands on a traffic island at the junction of St Giles Road, foreground, Vicarage Road, right, and Church Lane beyond (which is mostly in the next square). The house is believed to be the vicarage of nearby St Giles Church Image The obeliskal form of memorial was sometimes preferred by communities because it was non-denominational and even non-Christian. The inscriptions in view relate to the Second World War; the First World War commemorations are on the opposite side. Newspaper reports of Remembrance services in the 1940s and 50s don't mention Exhall or Ash Green but they do mention Keresley, 2.5km to the west, and Bedworth to the northeast, in connection with Remembrance events.
