The War Memorial outside Sherborne Abbey commemorates those who have died in conflict since WWI.

The land around the memorial is consecrated ground and thus cannot be planted, but a few simple planters surrounding the memorial give it a quiet dignity:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
