FARNINGHAM WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 & 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and copyright © Kent Archaeological Society 2009

Half hidden by the side of the less used North East gate and path to the churchyard and in the shadows of the overhanging branches of the yew and other trees is the Farningham War Memorial. It takes the form of a roughly shaped square base, superimposed by a cross, all hewn from Aberdeen granite. It bears the stark and simple inscription in bronze capital letters. Unlike the majority of war memorials, Farningham does not list its fallen soldiers, sailors or airmen on its base. To find these names one has to enter the church of Sts Peter and Paul where on the south wall there is a brass tablet inscribed. Almost immediately facing, on the opposite wall, is the Second World War memorial in carved stone. These details have been kindly supplied by the KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The men listed below have been researched on the Society's web site which is mainly the work of Frank Bamping, please follow the Society link.
