Honouring the men of Stilton and surrounding villages who gave their lives during both World Wars
Stilton had long commemorated its war dead in the form of Stilton Memorial Hall, which featured engraved plaques on the wall over the entrance.
With the development of the new Pavilion, the Memorial Hall was sold in 2018 to become a new village pharmacy. The memorial plaques were carefully removed to safe keeping, awaiting a decision about their reinstatement.
In 2019, thanks to the efforts of many, a new War Memorial was created in its current location at the entrance to St Mary Magdalene churchyard.
In the course of this work, two dedicated villagers - Tony Edwards and Barry Gilden - took it on themselves to research more information about the individuals commemorated. A lengthy and often difficult task; records are not always complete and some are known to have been lost.
But the results more than justified the effort. Not only has this 'brought alive' villagers hitherto known only by name, rank and number, it also identifed others who, for reasons unclear, had been commemorated neither on the Memorial itself nor on the tablets in St Mary's church.
This page is dedicated to their memory.
They went with songs to the battle
They were young, straight of limb, true of eye
Steady and aglow
