Brothers in arms lay in Belgium and France

Silent witnesses to supreme sacrifice

The altar cross and candlesticks remember George Dyott Willmot and his two sons, 2nd Lt Robert and Lt John Dyott Willmot, both 19 when they died nearly three years apart in WW1.

George led the drive to have the memorial built in the north churchyard.  He and his wife each gave £50 to the project. 

A meeting of subscribers and the organising committee on 24 January 1920 approved plans for the memorial, to be built in red Hollington stone, 23ft 6in high with figures of a soldier and sailor. On 17 March 1947 a gale carried away the original, more ornate original cross.
