The stone at the front is inscribed: Life's Essentials These standing stones are dedicated by Joyce and Dennis Newitt, in memory of their granddaughter Katherine Courts, who asked for more trees in the park. Each stone bears a wish for those who visit the nearby wood of her name. Three acorns, symbols of the beauty of life. Health, Happiness, Harmony With time, how sturdy oak from simple acorn grow. Woodland flourish! Fulfil this young one's wish, Each bud and leaf a symbol of life to flow. Pray these three essentials each mortal soul embrace. With the support of the Rotary Club of Meriden and Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. The whole memorial is seen in Image
