Great Bedwyn

Great Bedwyn is a considerably larger Village than Little Bedwyn. My researches have revealed a considerable number of Mills, Pococks and Lovelocks have lived in this area. Not many but a few are found in the Graveyard. This is a link to picture of graves in the Datastore as well as a list of the fallen inscribed on the rather unusual Memorial.  The Web address of the National Inventory is here.
The description on the UKMemorial Website describes it "ORNATE STONE CROSS WITH FLORIATED ENDS TO THE HEAD. CROSS SURMOUNTS SIX-SIDED PLINTH. PLINTH STANDS ATOP FOUR-STEPPED BASE. THREE-SIDED WALL SURROUNDED BACK OF CROSS AND BEARS NAMES OF FALLEN."
