Norton war memorial, opposite The Dog pub. Norton War memorial was damaged when a police car hit it on Friday… It won’t be repaired in time for remembrance Sunday, but the parish council is making plans for an alternative to tradition wreath-laying ceremony.
Can anyone please provide an approximate date? My uncle – Roger Sheraton – was in the St. Mary’s choir and went on to Durham, becoming a Vicar. This photo looks like it’s probably before that though.
The Norton war memorial was unveiled in 1921. Judging by the cleanliness of the stone, this photo was taken at, or shortly after, the unveiling of the memorial.
