Warburton, Lymm, Cheshire

The M6 was completely snarled up on my trip to Didsbury, so I jumped off and head back via the back roads. Spotted the cross first. Fairly traditional style next to a rather squat but well proportioned church. The church is called "St Werburghs Church" Warburton. New name to me. The inscription on the base of the cross is:

FOR GOD. FOR KING. FOR COUNTRY

LANCE CPL.HARRY BALL, S.W.BORDERERS

I am unlikely to revisit this memorial even by accident. There are the pictures below. There is a plaque on the church acknowledging that this community had existed during the Norman Census. The church reflects the shape and style of a Norman church.
