War Memorials – Shilton

There were six Shilton men who died in WWI and the memorial is inside the church.

There is also a Roll of Honour listing thirty-five men who served in the Great War.

The inscriptions on the Shilton memorials are as follows:

In Barnacle, instead of building a war memorial to commemorate those who had fought and died in the conflict, the village acquired a wooden hut from the army. A local landowner gave some land and the Barnacle Memorial Hall was erected. Much cherished by locals, the wooden hut was later replaced with a  concrete hall from Kent. It was transported to Barnacle and re-built over a period of years and eventually re-opened with a service of dedication and remembrance on 12th November 1972.
