History
In 1919, Oak trees were planted in remembrance of fallen soldiers from the district in the First World War. The trees were planted along Bridge Street from the post office to the tavern and each tree had a name plaque. The South Western Times of 9 August 1919 reported that a tree planting ceremony took place on Monday 4 August in memory of fallen soldiers. Eleven oak trees were planted in honour of ‘the following soldiers who make the supreme sacrifice’. They were V Emmett, D Scott, E White, E Duce, WB Ecclestone, T Fowler, LF Trigwell, LJ White, CP Hurst, CG Gibbons and A Cope.
