The
position in which the War Memorial stands today is not its original
position. Prior to the widening of the A38 road during the 1960's the
War Memorial stood on an island at the junction of the A38 with Sundayshill
Lane. The picture above is a sketch of the Church and shows the War
Memorial in its original position and has been taken from a booklet
entitled "The Parish Churches of St. George Falfield and St.
Oswald Rockhampton" and was produced in 1963 to celebrate the
centenary of St. George's, Falfield. The sketch is dated 1960 and signed
"K.B."
