We are reconciling ourselves (committees on 1 June) to the impracticality - or maybe impracticability - of refacing the war memorial and reinscribing the names of the fallen. Sue Clark talked about accepting the weathering of the memorial and celebrating its simplicity.
However, BIG HOWEVER, the plan might be to ensure that the names on the memorial are recorded publicly elsewhere. War memorial are a key part of our local history and after WW1 they were a step forward in recognising the sacrifice (usually in vain!) of ordinary soldiers. We'll be asking the public what they think through this Cranfield Express in July.
