We have in the last couple of weeks received some generous donations from local businesses, councils & individuals. As such we are now able to realise the plan of having an inscribed monolith is situ by (hopefully) the opening, complete with seating and information plaque. Thank you all for your continued support. Also, there will be a special remembrance service at St Peter's at 6:30pm on the 11th. Vivace Choir will be singing and 10 descendants of Arlesey men will read from letters they sent home. We hope to see you there.

Its all go at ARY HQ today, landscaping work on the memorial copse has begun this week and thanks to your generous donations we've been able to appoint a local craftsman to produce 2 bespoke memorial benches in time for the opening at the end of November. The third bench and the monolith still require a bit more funding, but I'm so pleased its all happening now! Follow the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ArleseyRemembers/ for updates on the small opening event which will happen at the end of November. Thank you. Jodie

Trees are home to more wildlife than any other landscape. Hedgerows, copses, woods, and parkland have a unique character, biodiversity & ecosystem. Together they make up vital habitat helping species to survive and thrive. So our new memorial copse will be a great place for the community to enjoy and to honour the memory of those lost in WW1, we'll be encouraging Arlesey biodiversity and creating wildlife habitat. Thank you for your donations so far please share the link with your friends and lets see if we can get a few more today. : )
