King's Mead School memorial garden The new owners of the
King's Mead site have been generous in allowing space for
a small memorial garden to commemorate the school and
allow remembrance of those boys who gave their lives in
World War II. It is placed, as far as I know, roughly
where the swimming pool used to be. The obelisk is of
granite and stands 2 metres high. The chapel window sills
on which these names had been engraved in the late 1940s
have been taken off the site with the help of Tony
Monnington and are now being stored temporarily on his
farm not too far away. |

owes its existence to the generosity of Barratt's
Development plc who built the houses on what was once the
site of King's Mead School |
