The Parish of Wanstead is aiming to raise £4,700 to fund the restoration of the Wanstead War Memorial.

“Since 1922, the memorial has stood as a testament to the sacrifice of those from the local area who died fighting for their country. It now requires significant restoration. The Portland stone has become stained, many of the names of the fallen have worn away and the base is tatty,” said Rev James Gilder. The money raised will be added to the £1,100 raised by VE Day anniversary events in May.
