St Johns school war memorial
This piece of lettering was in conjunction with the refurbishment of the war memorial in the school grounds of St. Johns Leatherhead. This consisted of the addition of a new Bathstone cross, cleaning the whole monument and this commemorative plaque in Yorkstone. The Yorkstone was chosen to match an older such plaque on the opposite face of the memorial.
