Habrough’s memorial takes the form of a stone wall plaque, which is mounted on the outside front wall of the Habrough Institute (the village hall).
he memorial was restored and cleaned in recent years. However there is still some damage at the base of the First World War names.
Unusually, the memorial records the people who returned, as well as those who died.
