Town / Village War Memorials

Coventrys Old Cathedral is in itself a monument to the victims of the Air raids on Coventry .These memorials are inside it s shell.

Won a ramble I came across this isolated Great war memorial sat down on the memorial bench had a cup of coffee from my thermos rolled and smoked a cigarette and listened to the sound of the wind very peaceful and very relaxing a far sight different from "the fields of Flanders".It lists not only those who died but those who served and survived .It is for the Shropshire village of Claverly and about half a mile away in the middle of the countryside on the byway known as Digbeth lane perhaps it was constructed by the squire of the big house (Chyknell Hall)
