 memorial, cenotaph
This cenotaph, built in 1921 to commemorate local men who died during World War I, represents deeply felt community sensibilities about memory, war and loss. The cenotaph is still used as a memorial site and bears witness to annual Remembrance Day ceremonies, giving the community an important opportunity to gather and remember together. Minimally ornamented, the cenotaph's design, created and executed by local monument works owner C.E.J. Millins, was based on an ancient Egyptian model.
