Details: The memorial was a gift to the village by Sir Ernest Debenham- who had built the village between 1919 and 1932 in an attempt to prove that country living could be self-sufficient and thus turn the tide away from the cities. After his death and that of two of the three other trustees, the Parish Council undertook the Trusteeship of the memorial in 1954.
