A Son of the Rock

Hope is a village in the High Peak of Derbyshire. We passed through it on our trip down south last year.

Its War Memorial is in the form of a tapering square pillar. It was erected in gratitude to those who served in the Great War. The dedication includes the villages of Aston, Thornhill, Brough and Shatton along with the names of men who died. There is an additional cartouche for the Second World War dead:-
