The Little Bromley War Memorial is now some 90 years old, and time has taken its toll:
there are cracks in the structure itself, and exposure to the elements has meant that some of the names on the memorial are difficult to read.
It will require professional cleaning and repairing of the Memorial to restore its appearance, and maintain structural integrity.
Work also needs to be carried out to improve the drainage of the ground on which the Memorial stands,
as this has also contributed to the structural damage.
The work will ensure that the Memorial will remain standing for many years to come, and continue to serve as a reminder to future generations of the sacrifice made by the twenty two men from our village who gave their lives.
Little Bromley Parish Council launched an appeal for funds, and there has been a terrific response to the appeal from local people & businesses. We have even received a donation from New Zealand from a relative of one of the men listed on the war memorial. The Amenities Committee ran a very successful quiz night, at the Haywain public house and all the profits from the night went towards the appeal. So far we have raised £1277 and have applied to War Memorial Trust for a grant.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to all those who have made donations;
If you would like to make a donation to help us remember the sacrifices made by those young men, and to protect the village's heritage for future generations, please contact the Clerk to the Parish Council whose details can be found on the Little Bromley Parish Council page.
All contributions are welcome, no matter how small; cheques may be made payable to "Little Bromley Amenties Fund".
