The stone memorial in the foreground is to Ealing Scouts who fell in both World Wars. A nearby sign reads: The name "Lammas" originated from "Loafmas Day" which was a harvest festival in 1 August. The festival marked the start of the season when villagers were allowed to graze livestock on fields and common lands known as "lammas lands". The grazing continued until Candlemas on 2 February.
