mbriscoe Posted 6 December , 2018 Author Share Posted 6 December , 2018 I usually copies a few lines from Canmore for Scottish sites, if you then do a look up of the ID number on Canmore, you get a map. https://canmore.org.uk/site/318560/minishant-war-memorial View on large map takes you to a larger map.

The original village is the Northern part of the current village which is mostly modern houses. The War Memorial was originally outside the church North of the village, that was built in memorial of a local landowner's wife. It looks as if it might have been multi-denominational. Became how a residence and now a Tandoori restairant. Edited 6 December , 2018 by mbriscoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
