Memorial and gate? This one's in Brimington, nr Chesterfield.

This is on the bridleway between Filgrave and Emberton.
I like these memorials because whoever visits needs to make a little effort to get there.

the last image shows how far away from civilisation it it

@biggs682
Nope. The cross by Delapre Park is one of three still existing.

T'other two are in Geddington and Waltham Cross. The rest are gone 😔

The German WW2 memorials are also often a very different design to those built for WW1.

Can you give us some pics, with bike of course (apologies if you already have upthread).
Pity we have no Italian correspondents or they could treat us to a selection of war monuments over time with a corresponding change in bike fashions - in my experience they are forever changing/rewriting them. (When in Italy I recommend folks look for the tell-tale marks where they have removed the old plaques/statues)

You'd think that it would say which faith (those were complicated times and not all of us are great with dates) but maybe the Wye Historical Society didn't want to stir things up/start a new round of burnings.
Were they protestant?
