Garden of Remembrance in commemoration of those who gave their lives in two world wars.

The centrepiece is a sculpture "Broken Sword" by Paul Margetts of Forging Ahead http://www.forging-ahead.co.uk/misc%20sculpture%202.htm and it was unveiled in 1995. It consists of an outer pyramidal frame containing poppies growing upwards into a sword that surmounts the frame. The tip of the sword is broken off and placed across the blade to form a cross.
