I always find this WW1 memorial fascinating in it’s graphic depiction and commemoration of the local ‘Pals’ regiment made up of Sledmere estate men and other villagers known as the Waggoners. The column memorial does not only glorify the Waggoners but also graphically illustrates the atrocities to which the soldiers were subjected. It is an amazing testament to the talents of the stonemasons too. The faces and antics of the villains make grim viewing in places. There is a small museum at Sledmere House across the road which explains the history but unfortunately it is closed at present.

Had breakfast here today. The freshly cooked savoury pastries were brilliant. The value for money is excellent. Well worth a stop.
