The War Memorial at Barton Stacey stands as a poignant tribute to the sacrifice made by the men of our parish during the First World War. Located inside the church at the west end of the south aisle, this wooden screen is beautifully carved and bears the names of sixteen brave individuals who lost their lives between 1914 and 1918. Headed by the profound words “Greater love hath no man,” the memorial serves not only as a reminder of their valor but also as a focal point for reflection and remembrance within our community. As we honour their memory, we are guided by the solemn words of Laurence Binyon: “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.” This sacred space invites all to pause, reflect, and pay tribute to those who gave everything for their country.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them."

For the Fallen - Laurence Binyon
