David Mooney (master monumental mason) designed and made this memorial by hand carving it to commemorate 50 years since Dunkirk. His late father was at Dunkirk, so he was honoured to make it. It is South African granite on a Yorkshire stone base. It took him 66 hours to hand carve this memorial and it has since been renovated in 2017 and looked after onwards.

Memorial bench in memory of Cpl. Matthew J Stenton RDG MC, who gave his life in July 2010 in the war in Afghanistan.
