Our Memorial Garden is a peaceful space at the heart of our Parish — a place to pause, reflect, and remember. It stands as a reminder of the people and stories that shaped our community, and it continues to be a gathering point for shared remembrance.
The Cenotaph
At the centre of the garden stands the Cenotaph, bearing the names of the fallen from Brampton Parish. Each name represents a life lived, a family changed, and a sacrifice made. It is a place where generations come to honour those who served and to ensure their memory lives on.
The Turning Wheel
The Turning Wheel, a relic from Cortonwood Pit, is a tribute to the men who worked in the local coal industry for so many years. Their labour powered homes and industries across the country, and the wheel stands as a symbol of their dedication, resilience, and the heritage that shaped our community.
Remembrance Sunday
Every year, we gather at the Cenotaph for our Remembrance Sunday service. The morning includes readings, reflection, and a moment of shared silence. After the service, everyone in the Parish is warmly invited to a reception — a chance to come together, share memories, and honour loved ones.
