Ashford in the Water, War Memorials and War Grave

Ashford in the Water‘s Great War Memorial lies close to a wall of the parish Church of the Holy Trinity. A granite cross above a plinth displaying the names of the dead:-

The Second World War Memorial is set into the church’s wall:-

In the church grounds I found this War Grave, of a Millitary Medal recipient, Private J Johnson, Hampshire Regiment, 1/8/1918, aged 21.

Ashford in the Water is a village in Derbyshire just under two miles from Bakewell. We stopped to see it because it featured in a book of British villages worth visiting.

Its main attraction for me was the lovely old bridge over the River Wye:-
