In Church Road, opposite the entrance to St Philip's Church, is a small memorial garden originally laid out for the first world war. The inscription on it reads: "This Statue is erected as a lasting tribute to the men of Penn Fields Bradmore and Merry Hill who served in His Majesty's Forces during the Great War, 1914-1919. The names of those who paid the supreme sacrifice are engraved hereon." This, and further information can be seen here: http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/listed/stphillipsch.htm
