Fundraising success for Wanstead War Memorial restoration project

The Wanstead War Memorial is set to be restored following a successful fundraising initiative.

“Thank you to everyone who donated to the fund, which now stands in excess of £9,000, enough to complete phase one of the project: to clean the structure, repoint the stone and repaint the base,” said Rev James Gilder, who is awaiting a licence from Redbridge Council to proceed with the work.

Phase two will seek to add the names of around 40 servicemen who were recently discovered to be missing from the memorial.
