The Haughley war memorial that has stood for more than 100 years was rededicated on Saturday 11th March 2023.

The service of rededication was led by the Right Reverend Martin Seeley, Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. The service followed, wherever possible, the order of service from the original dedication back in 1920. It is estimated that over 170 people attended the service including representatives of the Royal British Legion and families and representatives of those individuals commemorated on the memorial.

The refurbishment and updating of the memorial was made possible through the hard work of Margaret Buttle and the Friends of Haughley War Memorial. The revamped memorial recognises the conflicts from 1945 up to Afghanistan on flag stones. Margaret Buttle, from the Friends of Haughley War Memorial, said: "It's all about remembering what these boys went through and what they are still going through. "It's our heritage and the children, as they grow up, need to be able to see it and to learn".

Mrs Buttle said the memorial, in the churchyard to St Mary's Church, had been made bigger and wheelchair friendly. She said it had also been cleaned, all the names had been repainted and errors had been rectified.
