The Lord and the Memorial
Marshfield's hub revolves around the High Street and the Lord Nelson Inn. In front is the War memorial - or the new memorial, to be exact. After public subscription secured a memorial here, a new one was created in 1993. The solid form and four planters bear a number of names of fallen Marshfield men; the youngest was a Pte. Albert George Pullin of 2nd/5th Bn. Gloucestershire Regiment. He was killed in April, 1918 , and is laid to rest at Loos Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. He was aged 18.
As a modern approach to the memorial, there are some Q.R. devices for those with the latest in smart phones.
The Lord Nelson does not appear to have a long history, perhaps even being later than the Battle of Trafalgar (1805).

High St, Marshfield
The Crown https://www.closedpubs.co.uk/gloucestershire/marshfield_crown.html is currently closed and boarded up (a history of its flourishing and decline can be found here http://www.marshfieldparish.org.uk/wp/marshfield-history/crown.htm ); another pub, the Catherine Wheel http://www.thecatherinewheel.co.uk/ is further down the road on the right. The nearer building on the right is the former school. St Mary's Church, just visible at the far end, was at one time the venue for concerts by the Marshfield Bach Singers, conducted by Eric Roseberry.
