Marshchapel Parish Council, in 2016, with the help of funding from County Councillors, cleaned and refurbished the War Memorial to commemorate the Centenary of the First World War.
The War Memorial in Marshchapel stands on the crossroads of Sea Dyke Way, Church Lane and Mill Lane.
Although not in a bad state of repair there were a few issues that needed professional attention.
It commemorates the villagers who paid the ultimate price in the First World War in defending their Country.
The names on the Memorial are:
1914-1919 The Great War
Ernest Capes, Charles Johnson;
Herbert Johnson, John Henry Johnson,
Walter Leak, Cyril Leslie Moore,
Walter Edwin Oake, George William Rushby,
Albert Sargeant, John James Sergeant,
John Edward Younger
1939-1945 - World War Two
Derek P Atkinson, George H Grantham, Harry W Houlden.
They gave their lives that we might live.
In 2016, as part of the Centenary Commemorative plans the War Memorial was professional cleaned and refurbished, along with the railings and gardens.
The Parish Council, in 2014/15 also had the Roll of Honour, that is on display in St Marys Church, refurbished and re-hung.
