Hambrook - Whiteshill Common
On January 1st 1922 the War Memorial on the Whiteshill for the civil parish of Winterbourne was unveiled in a moving ceremony attended by the local community, some of whom had contributed to the commissioning of the construction of the memorial and had known those for whom it was placed.

“Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John,15.13
