Warwickshire Rural Housing Association, in partnership with leading social and affordable housing provider Stonewater, completed Jubilee Fields as part of its larger Glebe Close development in the village just over a year ago.

Taking inspiration from the WW1 memorial plaque situated in the side chapel at St Michael’s Church, and with funding from WRHA and Stonewater, the parish council have landscaped this area to create a community Memorial Green.

Howard Collerson, chairman of Sto heroes ckton Parish Council said: “This has been a tremendous community effort with local businesses giving their support voluntarily throughout the project.”
