additional information Estelle Mumby

The Winterton memorial stands in the grounds of All Saints Church and takes the form of a three stepped octagonal base surmounted by an octagonal plinth with a tapered shaft and celtic cross. The inscription is to be found on three bronze plaques placed on three sides of the plinth. There were 25 names for World War 1 and 16 for World War 2. In September 2024 a new plaque was added to the memorial for 22 other casulaties, 16 for World War 1 and 6 for World War 2. The Town Council were to hold a rededication service. The new names are marked '[Addition]'. There are expanded details for the World War 1 casualties and World War 2 casualties.

These died in war that we in peace might live.
