A stone memorial dedicated to the memory of 6 members of crew from the Lancaster Bomber ED 549 which crash landed just to the north of the memorial on the 5th March 1943 after engine trouble following a mine laying operation over France. It is flanked by two wooden posts and an information board about the crash and the aircrew. source: https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/260911
