On Remembrance Sunday 12 November 2023, just over 100 years after it was built, parishioners from Charlton, Britford, Odstock, Nunton & Bodenham gathered at the restored War Memorial for the Service of Remembrance and of ReDedication.

The Rector, the Revd Dr Ruth Howlett-Shipley, led the service. The names of the Fallen from our each of our villages were read out and a trumpeter played the Last Post and the Reveille. The service continued inside the Church.

There was a small display at the back of the Church, exploring the life of William John Frampton, one of the 17 Charlton men and boys who went to fight in the Great War, and never returned.

We will remember them.
