War Memorials

War memorials were mainly constructed after WWI to commemorate the troops who gave their lives in the war. Many were then updated after WWII. Some war memorials date back to the Boer War. Almost every town and village in Britain has a War Memorial. They take many forms, the commonest being an obelisk, a cross or statue of a soldier. Some commemorate the inhabitants of a place, some are for schools and others are for companies or Military groupings.
Many memorials are grade II listed, 61 are II* listed, LinkExternal link*_listed_war_memorials_in_England
& 12 are Grade I listed. LinkExternal link

Holy Trinity Church, East Peckham

Grade II listed. LinkExternal link
The firm of Whichcord and Walker provided this Early English/Decorated Gothic Revival church near the centre of the village to supersede the distant St Michael's Church. The stone building has a bellcote and a multi-sided apse. Work to the value of £800 was carried out in 1892, and a vestry was added in 1900.
