One significant item that is still to be seen in the centre of the village, is the war memorial given by Mr. F. C. Arkwright of Willersley Hall, Matlock, to the village that sent most men to the First World War in proportion to its population.
This memorial stands upon a base that displays the four emblems of the Knights Hospitallers namely the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit.
John Spencer – a member of the Project team has compiled the following downloadable reports.
The name John Spencer is recorded on the Memorial – he was the great uncle of the author of the reports.
