There
are two War Memorials on the wall of The Parish Church of St. Mary Magdalene,
Whipsnade. The
smaller memorial was originally on the wall of the Methodist Chapel across the
Green from the Parish church. It was placed in the church after the chapel closed.

The
Cathedral was founded by Mr. E. K. Blyth in 1931, inspired by the building
of Liverpool Cathedral, by his experiences in the First World War, and
in memory of his friends Arthur Bailey, John Bennett, killed in 1918,
and Francis Holland, died in 1930, after a car crash in Canada.
The
plantation was bequeathed to the National Trust.
