Barnham Broom
The memorial is in St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church in Barnham Broom, Norfolk. It is made up of a wooden cross and a small, copper plaque with the names of eight soldiers who fought and died in the First World War. In addition to those names we have included three more veterans who are connected to the village.
Visitors should also note the very poignant memorial created in the garden at the Village Hall,
which is accessible at all times.
