In Tylers Green, 30 trees
were planted in 1937 to commemorate local men
who were killed in the First World War. The
casualty's name is displayed on a small plaque
placed at the foot of each tree. A plan of the
location of these trees can be seen at
Tylers Green Memorial Trees.
The plan was unveiled at a re-inauguration ceremony
of the trees on 28 June 2009.
In about 2009, some young replacement memorial
trees were vandalised. To deter further gross
vandalism, a special DNA 'grease' was used to
coat the trees' metal
protective frame.
