War Memorial
The Earl Soham War Memorial commemorates those men from the village who died on active service in the two world wars. The Memorial stands just in front of St. Mary's church. Remembrance Day services are held partly around the Memorial (except when the weather makes an outdoor service unwise!).
The inscriptions on the Memorial are shown below.
