Guided Walk | War Graves Commission | Saturday 10th August

10 August to 2:00 pm3:30 pm

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is offering tours of Easebourne Churchyard and Carron Lane cemetery as part of the Madhurst Festival with Phil Stringer as your guide.

The free guided tours will take place at start at St Mary’s Easebourne Churchyard, Carron Lane Cemetery or  St Peter’s Churchyard Lodsworth and will give people in Midhurst, Easebourne & Lodsworth the chance to discover the remarkable stories of the men and women of the Commonwealth forces that died in the First and Second World Wars who are buried in their community.

CWGC believe that each one of those we commemorate were people like us, with their own ambitions, hopes, and dreams.  It is our duty and privilege to care for their graves and memorials and through our charitable Foundation, keep their stories alive.

The CWGC is encouraging the people of Midhurst and Easebourne to seek out the stories in their local area and book onto a free tour during Madhurst.
