Civic Society Host War Memorials Workshop

On Friday 14th October the Society hosted a War Memorials Workshop in Marple library run by Civic Voice, the national charity for the Civic Movement.

The workshop is part of a national project which aims to list and condition survey the estimated 100,000 memorials nationally to protect them for the future.  The project is supported by Civic Voice, War Memorials Trust, Imperial War Museum and Historic England. Further details HERE

The well attended workshop drew delegates from Marple, Stockport and neighbouring towns.  The workshop included a practical session to learn how to survey a war memorial and add it to the national database of war memorials.
