The sign says "at this location there is a Commonwealth War Grave", but I was unable to locate the reason why. But the web is a wonderful thing. The web address given is difficult to use, but eventually yields up https://www.cwgc.org/find/find-war-dead/results/?cemetery=LITTLE%20BYTHAM%20(ST.%20MEDARD)%20CHURCHYARD the listing for Sapper William Pearson who died in 1917. He was born in Little Bytham, and by the time of his death his parents had moved to Stamford, but wanted their son interred in their village.
