Eriswell Remembers
The Eriswell war memorial sits outside the village church of St Laurence and St Peter. It contains the names of 8 men from the parish who died during the first world war (The Great War 1914 - 1918) fighting for their country. We proudly remember these men and the sacrifices they made in losing their lives. Below we have provided details of them obtained from the Commonwealth War Graves commission and the War Graves Photograhic Project.
