Pelton Parish Council have recently installed three bespoke Memorial Benches in the grounds of Holy Trinity Church, Pelton. This has been an ongoing project to provide an opportunity for local residents to have a focal point in the parish where they can pay their respects to all those loved ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of Freedom and Peace in our time.

The Memorial Benches will provide seating for people to carry out their personal reflection in comfort and in seats that represent what binds a community – Their heritage.

The three bespoke seats were designed by Jade Mitchenson who is pictured along with the Memorial Benches. The project was funded through Section 106 monies after the Parish Council received letters of support from Rt Hon Kevan Jones MP, Mrs Dorothy Rand MBE, Major (Retd) Christopher Lawton MBE DL, Reverend John Lintern and County Councillor Danny Wood.

We look forward to receiving feedback from local residents when they visit the new seats.
