More about this scene
Eli Hamshire (1834-1896) lived in Ewhurst all his life. Self-educated, he was a radical thinker who bombarded politicians with his thoughts on improving society. They included finding civil employment for soldiers, vaccination, brewing beer and the workhouse. The memorial contains the names of 51 Ewhurst men who died in the First World War. One wonders what Eli would have had to say about the 'war to end all wars'.
