    This War Memorial is a Grade II Listed Building by English Heritage. Inaugurated in 1920, it is a stone cross with a bronze sword on the front of the cross. This monument has been recently relocated here, as it was previously situated at a junction not far from this very spot, but it was decided to place it next to the Memorial Park.

    The Finchampstead War Memorial is this white stone cross featuring a sword on the front. Although inaugurated in 1920, it was recently relocated to this place next to Memorial Park because its previous location was somewhat dangerous and challenging to visit.
    It is a Grade II-listed landmark.

    Hiking

    However, such a war memorial, which one often encounters on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony - still significant and relevant today - to the horror of war and tyranny. They all have two essential functions, and this is renewed for each generation:
    -1- Commemorate and remember the victims
    -2- Remind people to keep the peace
