A
Little History of Cherington and Stourton, Warwickshire |

The wooden triptych in the Parish Church commemorating local Great War soldiers was designed by Miss F. Brooke of Barford in the style of the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. The figure of St George and the Dragon is splendid. The joinery was done by Stourton wheelwright Harry Clark and stonework by Baker of Shipston-on-Stour. Principally responsible for the creation of the memorial were Mrs H.E. (Nora) Dickins and her sister Miss Lilian Dickins, who raised the money, collected the names and saw the project through to the unveiling in 1922 by Fred Simkins and Herbert Taylor. |
