CHERRY HINTON WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 & 2 - Detailed information
Compiled and copyright © 2001 Dave Edwards & Richard Hoye

Cherry Hinton war memorials are to be found within St Andrew's Parish Church. The First World War memorial is a wooden plaque inside the church while the Second World War names are listed on a framed scroll nearby. There are 44 names listed for World War 1 and 22 for World War 2. In 1949 a line of ornamental cherry trees were planted by The Women's Institute as a living memorial to local servicemen who were killed in World War 2; in 2002 the cherry trees were removed to make way for bollards on the grqass verge; the council are committed to replacing them with a similar species.

To the Glory of God
and in loving and grateful memory of
the men from this parish who
laid down their lives.
