Wroxeter Cenotaph

On August 21, 1921, over 3,300 people gathered in the cemetery to unveil the memorial dedicated to the memory of the area’s 14 men who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. 

The soldier monument in Fordwich was unveiled less than a year earlier on Armistice Day 1920. It was meant to be the township’s record of heroism, but 11 names of Wroxeter men were not included. The people of Wroxeter area sought to complete the record by erecting their own monument to the district’s fallen.
