Note the cascade of poppies down the tower and ending pouring over the roof of the South Porch. There are also balls of poppies hanging from the holly trees - which is also contributing with a crop of holly berries.
TRING YARN BOMB 2018
On August 4th 2014, following a service in the Parish Church, there was a short service of remembrance at the War Memorial in Church Square and the procession then marched to the Memorial Garden to unveil a plaque.
In subsequent years other events linked to the war and remembering those who died took place.
The Church Square was the site of the old market house Link
but that was demolished in 1900 to make and open space in front of the church. It was used for the open air market until the 1970s and then became an untidy car park, but towards the end of the century it was given a complete face lift, with a reproduction Victorian post box and a decent bus shelter. In 2015 the Market returned to where it should always have been - in the centre of the town.
