There the matter rested till the PC
meeting in March 1947, when prompted by the Bures branch of the British
Legion, the first step was to obtain an estimate for the addition
of the new names to the existing War Memorial. Three months later, a subcommittee
consisting of Mr. Creek. Mr. Barrie Deaves, Mr. Stanley Deaves, Mr.
Webber and Mr. Drake, was appointed to obtain estimates for the addition
of the names and for the necessary repairs. Mr. Barry Deaves, the Hamlet builder,
had estimated the sum of £11. 15. Od. for taking down and replacing
firmly the old memorial, cleaning and painting the railings and putting
down a concrete bed between the two. The subcommittee was asked to accept
the estimates and to raise the necessary funds to carry the work through.
Four months later, only £29. 5s. 5d. had been collected against
expenses of over £40 and so a second appeal was mounted. On the 4th December 2001, the Secretary
of State for Culture granted the memorial |
