War Memorial St. Peters Church Yaxley

This memorial, within the St. Peters Church, commemorates Captain John Draper R.N.. Until his death, on 23 February 1813, he was for 18 months the agent of the prisoner-of-war camp at Norman-Cross. The memorial was given by French prisoners-of-war, in gratitude for their good treatment by him.

This memorial also commemorates Private Charles Langford, who gave his life on 28 March 1900 in the South-African War (2nd Boer War).
