A Memorial to honour the warriors
Local resident Phil Long wanted to create a living memorial to honour the 55 men of Wivenhoe who lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars. He secured the trees from The Woodland Trust as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy project, but needed somewhere to plant them. We were happy to set aside an area on our upcoming development for the tree planting.
In addition to the trees, plaques of English oak were installed, stating the name of each serviceman being honoured and the name of the child who planted the tree.
